Wild turkeys and cattle grazing together in a meadow in northern Nevada today....

Selfy off the game camera last night

Some people don't realize just how massive some of these mountains are. They are huge.

Yeah, we've been to the Appalachias several times.... then we went to the Rockies. WOW! No comparison.

Back in the day when a young buck that slope didn't seem as formidable as it does today.

On my first trip to the east coast, I took a shuttle to get to my destination, I forget in which state, and the driver kept mentioning the Appalachian Mountains. After a while I asked when we would see them. He cursed at me and said that we have been driving past them for the last 1/2 hour.

Appalachians are in my back yard...pretty but not the Rockies. In the '60s I saw the Canadian Rockies first before Colorado which was a mistake!

I captured this from my game camera a couple days ago. What's rare about this is that we had a historic 10" snowfall on Jan. 22 here in South Louisiana

Good morning, everyone.

Went outside to put some seeds in the feeder and saw this. I had to go grab the good camera but took the time to put on my toque because it was a frosty 10 degrees.

The ghost trees finally arrived...

Out here we get "ghost" antennas up on the mountains where the relay stations are placed.....

The ice mostly melted, but some stayed to backlight the brambles.

Been there. Nearing mile high. Beautiful country.

I was driving past some factories yesterday and several had dozens of Canada geese on their lawns (nothing new), but I noticed 1 snow goose in a group of them. Couldn't stop to take photo, but it's the first time I've ever seen one alone in a group of Canada geese. I've only seen one flock of snow geese around here in my entire life.

We got snow (about 6") & ice in S. Virginia. Very noisy sliding off of the new metal roof.

A long shot and I can’t get a picture of it, but the best I can describe it is the coloring is like a house sparrow, but no white on the breast. The coloring is very similar though otherwise but it’s much larger, roughly the size of a Cardinal. It’s vaguely similar to a Catbird but the coloring and tail is wrong. This is Western Illinois about 40 miles east of the Iowa Missouri border. Any bird experts have an idea?

That’s it. I’ve looked at a bunch of pictures and I guess the pictures were of a male maybe. I was thinking Catbird but got it confused with Cowbird. Thanks for nailing that one down for me, it was bugging me every time I saw one.

The ghost trees finally arrived...

WOW. Never seen trees like that. Seen plenty of iced over trees and snow covered. I always thought the snow sloughed off when it got too much on them, or broke the limbs in the event of ice.

Cool shot

Cowbird's are the only birds that we really don't like seeing. They show up and drive off all the other birds at our feeders.
