Saw a snow goose down on Wisner Road while out doing errands, he was with a flock of Canada Geese, I went back out to snap the picture. There were also Wilsons Snipe in the stream across the road from the Snow Goose. One last look at the Snow Goose for Winter 2009.
Unseasonably cold out,in the 20s overnight. Still no sign of wood frogs up in the County Park this morning. The streams and ponds were covered with ice again. Not too much bird life out and about. Skunk Cabbage all in bloom, won't be long before the leaves are coming out. I'm looking forward to seeing my first snakes and turtles of the year.
At the home feeders, still over a hundred Pine Siskin, good size flocks of Gold Finch, Juncos and Red-Wing Black birds. A couple of Song Sparrows this AM singing their little hearts out along with the Carolina Wrens. I'm still going through so much bird seed. Might have to cut back the feeding soon, I met up with a man while hiking up at Cascade Lake Park yesterday, he said there is a bear already up and getting into garbage. The man also saw Red Fox and heard Coyotes, hiking with a dog does have some drawbacks...you do miss out on lots of wildlife sightings. He's worth it though :D
