Sunrise, with crows

[jhetley]

When you're used to chickadees and goldfinches in the sideyard tree, a crow looks like a B-52 perched . . .

Wife saw three ravens playing in yesterday's snow and wind -- chase and dive and fly upside down and swap order.  They didn't mind the weather.

We got about 2" of dry fine snow.  Although how the weather-people measured it, with the wind and all, remains a puzzle.  Much of the driveway remains bare, for example.  Supposed to get another storm Tuesday plus-minus, mostly rain and mix here, but all snow in the mountains and north woods.  Haven't yet heard our annual tale of hunters trapped 'way back on some obscure logging road.

Haven't yet heard our annual tale of hunters trapped 'way back on some obscure logging road.

We've already had our first lost hunter, though this one didn't end well. Mislaid the hunter, eventually (late at night) found his pickup, eventually (much later) found deceased hunter. Appears to have been your basic heart-attack-in-the-woods thing.

So far, all our lost hunters have come out of the woods alive. This year.
