Spring is definitely around the corner. With the warmer weather, we’re seeing an increase in wildlife variety. The pheasants have reappeared in the area, we know there are at least two great horned owls on our place, we also spotted three Northern harriers and some robins. But topping them all is the long-tailed weasel we saw this morning. These little critters don’t stay in the same spot for very long so I consider myself very lucky to have gotten some pictures.
Had the chance to see one of our residents yesterday. A great horned owl. Couldn’t get as close to him as I would have liked so the picture isn’t very detailed but it was a neat experience. Had to kinda walk through the accumulated snow in the field, sometimes sinking deep, but it was fun.
While I was keeping an eye on him, I heard another one calling. Maybe it’s a pair and that they’ll nest in our trees.
One of my plans is to get a bigger zoom lens one day so I can really get into wildlife photography.
Every day bring a new sunrise and they can be so beautiful in ND. These were taken at the beginning of December.
