12-6-07 Observations

- Partly cloudy and cold this AM....mid 20s.

- Deer plentiful near dusk, but early AM I do not see as many.

- Birds of various species still interested in sunflower seeds....if the squirrels allow it!

- A bit of rain last week...and a bit the week before...Nov closed above normal, the first such month in a very long time. Still 14-15" below annual average. Water levels still a concern for many area towns.

- A Red-Tailed Hawk ( Buteo jamaicensis) shown in attached photo...perched in a tree near the cabin....Priceless.
