Easter Weekend Beginnings

Easter Weekend began in SW Colorado on Friday, April 10th, in the evening with the wildlife parading down from the high elevations. First with the Gray Fox and following 15 minutes later with a huge herd of deer and a 3-point Buck. In Colorado they only count the points on one side of the antlers.

Saturday morning shortly after we were moving around and our eyes were opened, The Pugs were watching the birds scampering for snow-covered bird feed. Most of the birds were the "Slated-colored Junco" and one bird I haven't identified as of yet. I think it was either Warbler or a Sparrow. some of the Junko's tried to to fly into window panes to get at the yellow silk flowers I had in a container.

Friday at dusk, 7:33pm, MDT, SW Colorado, North of Bayfield. This 3-point Buck strolled through our backyard with a herd of deer. NW Okie caught this nosy little buck fiddling with the wildbird feeder.


Friday at dusk, 7:09pm - 7:13pm, MDT, SW Colorado, North of Bayfield. This bushy-tailed, gray fox came exploring in our backyard looking for something ... to eat while Duchess & Sadie the Pugs were asleep inside. WHEW! Close Call!


That movie above was done in two parts. Here is the second part of the Gray Fox before Sadie Sadie awoke and noticed it in the backyard: Gray Fox & Sadie Awakes

That brings us to Saturday, April 11, 2009, in SW Colorado, North of Bayfield, April 11, 2009, we received over 2 inches of spring snow. The Heavy, Wet type. The Gray Squirrel, Slate-colored Junco and another lone bird were spotted pecking for bird feed on the snow-covered patio and bird feeder up the hill. More Junco's than anything.
