Bobcat Fun Time

On a snowy day in February, this bobcat was having more fun than just about any creature on Earth.  I love watching our wildlife play with joy and abandon.

Lucky Camera Save and an Unusual Duck

This video is from when the water in the pond was rapidly rising in Feb. Luckily, I retrieved this camera right before the pond drowned it - as the water rose many more feet just after this. 

The duck was very unusual (to me), so I looked it up and the official name of it is "Cool-Ass Duck". Which is appropriate.

Snow Day

Heron in the winter!

We have never seen a heron in our yard in the winter.  They usually only show up in the summer and eat all the tadpoles out of the then shrinking pond (damn it)!  But this one showed up just after the pond started forming again last week and is looking for food.  The pond seems clear and devoid of life right now, but she's sticking around, so she must like something.
