Winter birding is not for the faint of heart. The weather is generally not favorable for optics and cameras and the birds can be few and far between. Feeders have the most diversity. Here are a few I’ve seen in December and January.

This month, most days have been gray with occasional snow. There is barely enough snow for the groomed trails and I have yet to ski. The girls and I try to get out often on foot but this winter, much of the public land is closed to people and dogs in hopes of bringing back the mule deer herd. So space is limited. We were lucky to find one short trail with no one else on it a couple days ago. The beaver pond is much larger than the last time I visited the area.
The day started with a bit of sunshine but by the time we got out, it was gray. Again. We just need to make the best of it.
Scenes from a walk a few days ago.
A week ago, I joined a friend for a snowshoe adventure. I am not fond of snowshoeing but living in a place with a long winter, a person needs lots of ways to get out and enjoy the snow. I managed to trip myself up more than once and I was quite tired when we were done but still, it was so lovely and a great day to be out. Now the highway is closed and we won’t see this area again til next May or June.
Sky was off on her own adventure so Willow and I shared some lovely walks last weekend.
