The January heat wave has taken it's toll on the snow cover up here. In
Cleawater, Polk, Mahnomen, Hubbard, and Beltrami counties, bare patches
are showing in open fields. Small streams were free of ice in some
places. Red-osier Dogwood is looking...red.
I read on the WSO (Wisconsin birding) list serve that someone found
Pussy Willow blooming at Bong Rec Area in the South-eastern corner of
the state. I was just there a week ago and I half expected to see
Red-winged Blackbirds in the marsh. I did get to see a very nice
Short-eared owl.
