While this winters light, what little there has been, has been mostly the grey variety sometimes the sun does indeed shine. This morning a Townsend’s Solitaire rests quietly in the choke cherry bush illuminated by a wonder filtered light just poking over the Southern horizon.
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.
IT’s finally starting to act like winter around here and and with winter the hardy Mountain Chickadees have moved down the hill and are now keeping us company. It’s the little things that sometimes put the biggest smile on your face.
