| Hard winter for the mule deer. This one looked shaky on its legs as it moved over the hill |
Yesterday, Karen and I made our first trip of the spring (the latest ever!) to see how the honeybees and wild creatures made it through the longest winter in decades.
 |
| no garter snakes above ground at the den but here is a shot of a shed from last fall |
 |
| this spring's prescribed burn on our native grass hillsides |
 |
| a big patch of juniper lends some colour to the scorched hillside |
 |
| Our honeybees were gathering pollen from Pasque Flower (prairie crocus) blooms a quarter mile from their hives |
 |
| In the creek, water near the beaver lodges open first |
 |
| Birds for the day included Eastern Phoebes, a Broad-winged Hawk, Purple Finches and a pair of courting Northern Harriers. The male in this image was resting three fence posts from the female. |
