A day or two ago the cardinals took a short break and I was able to count 12 all red males. Nice break from the dreary background.

Tonight five deer showed up in the neighbors backyard. First time we've seen them in ages.

 

Donna was walking the dog this AM. Look what she found. Chukar Partridge - a ground-dwelling bird normally found in rocky, dry areas in very western states.

 

I had about 5 deer in the yard early this morning. I tried to get a pic but something spooked them and they took off. I’ve been expecting to see a bear pop up this week but it was very cold today so they may have gone back to sleep.
