Early March Sunny Day Drive

March came in like a lion for sure! 
We had about 5-6 inches of snow yesterday, so we didn't get out.
We woke up today to bright sunshine, and took a drive around Buck Creek.

We were entertained by these fellows...counted 5 of them in this hollow tree. One fellow is about to get a bite to his paw!

This crow was feasting on a deer carcass.  

Nothing more beautiful than a Cardinal against a clear blue sky!

Killdeer Plains #2

It was quite cold today....a high of 9 degrees, but despite the cold we set off for Killdeer Plains to see if we could find the Northern Shrike that has been seen frequently on County Road 68.
We didn't find the Shrike, but did see a few other brave creatures....
