and now it’s open water.
No more deer tracks, at least for the moment.
In addition to indicating that our temperatures are warmer, it shows we have sufficient water and melted snow to provide some nice swampy habitat. If it stays warm enough and we continue to get rain or the snow further north melts and flows this way, we may attract some lovely waterfowl for viewing, as well as the sandhill cranes.
I’m also looking forward to the return of the red-winged blackbirds in February. It may not be spring yet, but a girl can dream, can’t she?

If the wetlands last, you’ll attract plenty of waterfowl. My husband reported seeing a redwing blackbird here already. Maybe spring is closer than we think.
Great scenes and photos!
You already have a thaw? I don’t expect one here until March… Nice to see the brown grass again!
open water, that is great. Hope it stays that way.
Nice open field, I’l bet there are a ton of sparrows out there in those grasses. Great shots.
The snow was pretty and interesting to see who had been past, but the warmer weather is way more conducive to life. Happy bird watching.
The brown grass field is reminiscent of Cali summer landscape
Have a great weekend.
I love seeing fields like these with brown grasses. Not sure why but maybe it’s because too often fields are mowed and I really like the natural cycle.
The January thaw can do a number on our hopes and desires. These are great shots.
Great photographs, and words that hint of the critters that are coming.
Hey, I’m having the same dream!!! It is wonderful when you can watch the subtle changes in the landscape and know that change is happening — slowly, but surely! Great captures! Hope you have a great week, Wren!
