Sweet but not too sweet. Out along the trail south of town.
Enjoy the weekend.

The Local
Even when that big mob of Pine Siskin’s moved into the neighborhood last week the locals took it all in stride and here’s one of our favorites.
Winter Bunn 2022
Introducing Winter Bunn 2022.
Each winter we seem to have a single Rocky Mountain Cottontail that call our surroundings home. This year she makes an appearance every couple of days or so. Sometimes seeming right at home with us invading her surrounding. This day she munches away on the stalk of an old Holly Hock plant whist giving me the eye. Thus far she has seemed to avoid all those which would like to make her a meal and hopefully will make to spring to produce another batch of spunky young rabbits.
Sunshine
Thus far our winter has been more gray then sunny and much less snowy than we would like it. However looking out and seeing this Rocky Mountain Cottontail provided us that proverbial sunshine on a cloudy day and a smile to our faces.
Without fanfare
On a morning that dawned without fanfare and the sun decided to hide.
A female mule deer endures light snow and minus 8 on her quest for a winter meal.
A quiet start
Mountain Chickadee
Always moving, always working and always bringing a smile to our faces.
Robert
Robert or Bob to his friends.
Just a few days ago we were intently watching a Rabbit forage on some exposed grass when they suddenly became alert and sat up tall with ears wide open. We thought we had startled her when suddenly and silently off in the distance we spotted this North American Bobcat on the prowl thus explaining the rabbits alertness, and for good reason, as Rabbits are a Bobcats main food.
The Bobcat wandered around for just a moment without detecting the rabbit and quickly disappeared into the forest below. A truly beautiful cat and one we seldom see more than once a year.
Little Sticks
This Mule Deer was hanging out eyeing a couple other males with much larger racks off across the way perhaps dreaming of joining them.
Maybe next year.
