Hunting Northern Harrier
While officially it is spring winter conditions with cold nights and occasionally snow continue. A pair of Norther Harriers have been hunting the meadows surrounding my home the last few days. This shot was taken from our home's rear deck.
Starlings
Large flocks of starlings are frequently seen now flying in unison from one feeding spot to another. Here you can see the remnants of yesterday's snow storm lying on the distant mountain side.
Red Fox exhibiting symptoms of Sarcoptic Mange
Recently I have observed a red fox hunting in the meadow behind my home. The fox seems to prefer hunting in the warm sunshine. From the poor condition of the fox's coat I would expect that it is having problems staying warm.

That fox looks miserable. Seeing a Harrier from your deck would make for good photo opportunities.
Is that a Chupacabre in that last frame? ;)
Poor thing.
Ah, you've got grass!! Things still haven't begun to melt here, but there are predictions for the high 30s this weekend. It'll be a while before the grass shows though, as there's about 18 inches of snow on the ground.
That poor fox needs a new coat! We had 14 degrees this morning, with an expected high of 37. So, we're gaining a little ground!
Nice pictures Coy!!!
I hope that spring comes to you soon. We have also still coold night´s but very sunny days.
Greetings / Kenny
