I had mergansers on the river every winter, they like open water in this neck of the woods this time of year. Beautiful shots!

Guy, I am impressed, fantastic sleuthing!

We got about a half inch here in lovely Trenton, just started to coat the roads before it passed. There are still a few white lawns and rooftops this morning. Nice day! :) Here's what it looks like from my front window just now:

It's not like deer are hard to come by around here. This is such a pointless tragedy.

How about posting that photo here?

Geranium oil isn't going to cut it for ticks. They're tough! Sorry to hear your dog had RMSF. How did that work out? It is a really awful disease.

What a beautiful cat, and what a shame.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Is that a Howard Stern wig!?

Winter rules! :dance: I am moving to a white/gray zone in southwestern MI. I may be good and sick of snow by March but I don't think so. The snow is a plus as far as the move is concerned.

Yay! :dance:

Yes, it's an A570.
