"Do their Jobs", It's been a great season so far!
|
Over 3' of snow! |
Snow continues to fall like a good old traditional New England, USA winter with continuous days of snowfall. A few big storms and we're looking at over 40+ inches of snow on the ground, woohoo! With temperatures dipping below zero quite a few days and an average of 18 degrees, you would think we're in Southern Alaska! It's just absolutely gorgeous here in New Hampshire!
While my biggest challenge is finding open trails for Gaige to hike on, we depend entirely on the snowmobile folks to pack the way!

With the rivers frozen over blanketed by
snow and Otter's peaking out of their holes, it forces some birds
to move further south.

Although I have lots of company at the frozen over
feeders, I do miss the occasional raptor perched searching for it's next meal.
