It was subzero this morning, but with a blue sky Cookie wanted to get out. We headed south hoping to find the melanistic mule deer, did locate them, but only had distant photo opps. A few things did get in the way though.
A couple ringnecksI
Some swans did a fly by
It was warm enough for a bath where the honkers found open water
Sharpshin was doing the sit and wait thing
Raccons were working the stream bank immediately below a spring outlet
And the score for the day was a barn owl out in daylight
