It would be fair to say that winter has finally arrived. As I wrote this a fine mist of snow drifts down from the sky, almost undetected. I’ve just finished eating lunch at work. I looked out back where our bird feeders are and the birds are going absolutely nuts. They’re having a feast. And, so are the squirrels incidentally. We have gotten a good amount of snow in the past week. Another foot or so and I may actually be able to offer snowshoeing. Even at this midwinter time I have seen many animals running around. The most interesting have been an immature bald eagle and a group of about 30 turkeys.
