Duchess Snowy Domain

The view on the left is what you could expect to see up at the Vallecito Res., in Southwest Colorado, in the San Juan mountains, north of Bayfield. Saturday, Sunday and Monday was a different picture, though.

Snow and rain showers moved in Saturday, Sunday and continues with a snow/mixture in the mountains and valley for Monday through Wednesday as it tapers off before another front comes through. To view that same photo in black and white, CLICK HERE

The temperatures North of Bayfield, Colorado have been hanging around 34 degrees the last few days, but last week we did get up to the mid-40's.

SW San Juan Mountain Wildlife

Robert L. Wagner took this photo of the Albert Squirrel, Sterling Jays and other small birds feeding behind their own little secluded feeding area, hidden by mounds of piled snow from the road crews.

That Albert Squirrel can be quite interesting to watch as he hogs the feeder. The Albert squirrel I have down at my place, closer to Bayfield, Colorado likes to sit in the feeder while a dozen or more big black crows, standing around on the ground nearby, squawking at Mr. Albert (squirrel) while he munches away. Nothing scares him off, except my friend Sadie and me (Duchess) when NW Okie lets us out the back patio door.

Have you ever observed the Albert Squirrel at feeding time?

As Edward R. Murrow would say, "Good Night and Good Luck!"
