Feb. 4th Sun setting

Progression in only minutes.

I am standing in the snow on the West side of the pen.  Pokey on the left in the Northwest pen and Peachy on the right in the Southwest pen. 33 degrees Feb. 4, 2017, we are doing fine.

Winter observation of nests. 2017

This one of five photos I captured on Jan. 23, 2017. The camera shutter isn't opening completely as seen by the dark edges on top and side.
This nest appeared to be a sack hanging from branches, in the tree on the East side of our property.  It is also home to woodpeckers which have their nest in the tree trunk.

A squirrels nest appears large and secure on limb of trees.

In the common Lilac bush which is taller than I am.  Nest seems large but may be home to robins.

Bee hive in November is found empty.

Old log cabin, Fairgrounds Park, BE

Took a walk on the day after Thanksgiving at the Fairgrounds on a bright day near 55 degrees.  The park trail was devoid of walkers.
