The weather is teasing now. Several days above freezing and the massive drifts dropped at least a foot and a half. Snow seems to vanish here a bit quicker than normal, perhaps for it is so dry to start with, but it is settling. The melting, the softness, the warmness in the air, all welcome signs. I am ready for Spring, not so much for feeling trapped, but longing for access to land, non slick, slippery, snowy land to traverse upon.
Awoke this morning to an eleven degree day and it barely got above freezing today, so the thawing is on hold. Not only humans are ready for Spring, much more animal life is scurrying about readily.
There is a Coyote that visits the fields of Brophy near daily, often jumping and diving, hunting rodents in the open fields. And below, a slightly fuzzy image of what I believe is a ferruginous hawk.
Below is another shot of Moon Bug and the solar panels, the drifts having settled quite noticably.
