Red-Tailed Hawk
Recently we experienced spring-like temperatures in Pennsylvania. The temperatures reached into sixties! A week earlier we were in the single digit numbers making for some cold times.
I found some time to go and do a short hike on Wednesday the 30th. I placed some deer ribs into a woods to help some little wild birds make it through the remaining winter season. Later on I went a short distance to State Game Lands 247 for a hike. The mild weather forced me to roll up my flannel shirt sleeves. I saw two deer.
Prior to leaving, I carried the feed sack that I had hauled the deer parts out and gathered a bag-full of glass from the woods of the game lands. Why people insist on carrying their garbage out to the woods is beyond my thinking! I will take the glass to the recycling site later. The walk and outdoor excursion was short-lived for by 10:00 A.M. the rains began followed by some high winds. Today, we had high winds, snow and temperatures in the twenty degree range. Tonight the temps are to reach the teens. Like I said in the title: Winter in Pennsylvania!
