Happy Thanksgiving!  Cheer up!  2021 will be a way better year.

 Wood Anemone in Black, the wildflower that carpets our floodplains in the spring.

 A little dose of wet snow this morning.

 

 Chipmunk out and about on a November day-we do not often see that.

 

 

 For the last two years we have been working on a set of flowers we call: " Wildflowers in Black".  From time to time this winter when we have no other current items to post we will display some of the flowers from this set.  Click on the photo to enlarge and the name of the flower should be apparent.

 Male Purple Finch.  We have had a few Purple Finches at our feeders recently.

 Red-bellied Woodpeckers love our sunflower seeds. When we first move out here 23 years ago they did not seem to like the sunflower seeds.

 Male Cardinal.  We have a few cardinals at the feeders now, but the numbers will jump when the snow covers the ground.

 The Goldfinches at our feeders are now in their drab winter feathers.

 Sandhill Cranes overhear yesterday.

 Red breasted-Nuthatch (top), and White-breasted Nuthatch (bottom) for comparison.  The Red breasts arrived from up North about 2 months ago, and the White breasts are with us all year.
