Cranberry Marsh

A nice morning at Cranberry Marsh. A few interesting birds beyond the omnipresent chickadees. WILD TURKEYS were feeding on the trail from the North Parking Area, which THE SON was quite impressed with. There was a small flock of HORNED LARKS feeding on the edge of Hall's Road. A really nice winter day when all was said and done. Not too cold, a nice layer of fresh snow, a few birds and my family. What could be better ???


The chickadee is right there...Right behind you !!! Just turn around !
Hide and Seek

( Yes that is a sled in the background and yes, that was the preferred mode of transport on the day )
