4 Feb/17

It's been cold for a couple of weeks, after that warm spell. The usual suspects are still out and about - chickadees, nuthatches, crows, woodpeckers (downy and hairy), squirrels, rabbits, mice etc. They become less visible/audible as the cold comes, and more when it warms up. Yesterday as I walked on the river, saw a branch that had been cut by a beaver. It was frozen in the ice, so I don't know how long it has been there. Also saw a new nesting box up on the bank, probably for wood ducks when they come back. There is another one further south along the river, but I have never seen it used by wood ducks. They do nest in the area, though.
