All things are right with the world. As you know, I’ve been troubled with the absence of the resident Carolina Wrens, and a beautiful white goose. The bitter arctic temperatures were life threatening to these beautiful creatures and I was sad with the prospect that they didn’t survive. […]
It was one of those days when nothing seemed to go quite right. Beginning with freezing rain, and then my schedule being delayed due to circumstances beyond my control. By two o’clock, I was starting to get rather pissy. I had been gypped out of being able go […]
It’s been a crazy busy day today, and it looks like the temperatures will warm up in the next few days. The river is still frozen over with the freezing temperatures we’ve had this week. There is a family of Canadian Geese that come up to the […]
