Winter arrives to the mountains first.
It's hunting season so the deer are consentrated in the city limits.
High total was 97 in this grain field.
This doe is seen regularly - note the unusual antlers still in velvett.
One of the neighborhood bucks high jumps fence.
Olympic high vault successful
Another buck at the neighborhood park
First heavy snowfall reaches the valley floor of Livingston
This buck stopped to pose for his picture
Eurasian Collared Doves feed up before the snow covers the feeders
Black-billed Magpies love our homemade suet.
Pinyon Jays have migrated south, we miss them.
Trees wearing a mantle of snow
Merlin in the snow storm
Eight Robins are still here but probably not for long.
The first of seven Rough-legged Hawks have arrived from Northern Canada
New bird for the year - Rough-legged Hawk
Time to go hunt for mice
A brief stop at Sacajawea Park, we found this smaller Cackling Goose grazing with Canada Geese
Our first trip to Pine Creek Trail, we had snow on the road as we reached the 6,000 foot level which was a good opportunity to try out the GOAT (Go Over All Terrain) mode on the Bronco.
Steep canyon walls towered 600 feet above the trail
Pine Creek, low water time but will rush with snow melt in the Spring
Waterfall is a mile and half up the meandering ice covered and slippery trail,
Ty did this one on his own as I watched for birds in the parking lot.
I got a Steller's Jay, but Ty didn't.
The Waterfall is the hiker's favorite trail, with large numbers of people visting in the warmer months
Snow covered Mountain Ash
We wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving, being grateful for all God has given us.
❤️ Love & Prayers 🙏
