Been a while since my last post, and yesterday being our Christmas Bird Count here in town, I thought it would be a good time to post some photos. No, no birds, just where I was. And birding by skis is a lot more enjoyable than driving around in a car.
Cold, zero when I left and warmed to 10*f. saw what I expected and one I hoped for, a black backed Woodpecker. All in all a good day.
A couple weeks ago, I set out a camera trap (aka known as a trail camera). Basically it's a weatherproof digital camera that is tripped when something moves in front of the infrared sensor. You strap them to a tree,set it and forget. I went out today to check on it and found over 251 photos,all but a few where just moving plants. It was strapped low on an apple tree.
