Hike in the snow
We woke up this morning to ~ 6cm of snow on the ground, a temperature of -5C and a wind chill of about -15C.
Matthew and I decided to take advantage of this great late-fall weather to go for a hike in Stoney Swamp. With fresh snow on the ground we were hoping to work on our "tracking skills" and see if we could see any deer or rabbit tracks.
While the snow was mostly over, the wind was blowing lots of snow off the trees..brrr!
We saw 2 deer, lots of fresh deer tracks, and some squirrels, but so rabbit tracks could be seen. Perhaps the rabbits were smarter and us and were staying holed up in their dens until the weather improved.
While Matthew was not to excited to be leaving the nice warm couch and his video games for the hike, I think his true thoughts are given away with the picture below.
We were hoping to see some birds on the trail, but only saw a few crows and some geese flying over. On arriving home we did snap this picture of a very plump Cardinal on our cedars.
