Previously at the TCAAP WVA, I Saw Square Frost

About a year ago at the TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area I made this image of hoar frost. It was very cold that day.

I didn't make it out to the area yesterday because I was official media for the Red Bull Crashed Ice US Championships in Saint Paul. Here is a link to my other blog with a slide show of the first day of qualifying runs.

Previously Near the TCAAP WVA, I Saw a Red-tailed Hawk

Lots of hawks near the TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area last December. It's been a while since I've had time to get out there.

Last weekend I shot a bike race on ice, a basketball game and a pond hockey game. This weekend I'll be official media for the Red Bull Crashed Ice Championship in St. Paul.

Managed to make it out to the TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area for sunset today. The temp wasn't so bad but the wind was biting.

I made it out near the TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area this morning but came home only with a crummy shot of a wild turkey. It was too blurry to share with the world.

It was very busy in the area so I opted to head home early.

Ya, I saw deer again near the TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area today. This particular buck must've just dropped his antlers for the year. I can see the little stumpy holes on his head.

I only saw one red-tailed hawk. No rough-legged or kestrel. The flock of American tree sparrows is still around in the same area as are all the mallards, swans and geese I see regularly.

It was very windy and cold today.

Here's the red-tailed hawk which I saw right near the WVA. It must have just finished eating because it has blood on its breast and claws.

Previously Near the TCAAP WVA, I Saw American Tree Sparrow

The flock of American Tree Sparrows near the TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area seems to be growning. On Dec 30, I watched maybe a hundred or so of them working the vast big blue stem field. They would fly back into the pines every now and then.
