Finally got to mow the front yard today. It was unbelievably thick. The voles were scrambling. :)
View out my front windshield.

Looks like a hayfield. Mine looks like a weed patch, so I cannot talk.

With leaves not out yet here, the neighborhood squirrels venture to our bird feeders and I can get pics of them. Seems we have all colors of gray squirrels here. We have maybe 4 pure white ones among them.

The ones with the red eyes are true albinos. Somewhat rare. If they're white but still have black eyes they're called leucistic. Those aren't as rare.

We've got mute swans here. They're about the size of flying Volkswagen beetles! 🤣

They stay pretty much all winter, finding just tiny pools of unfrozen waters in almost all the lakes. They make a whistling noise when they fly.
