I went looking for birds around Andover again on Friday but all I found was ice! The following photos are from two sites I visited that are part of the Andover Village Improvement Society. I hope you enjoy this photo essay of a walk in the woods in winter.
The Mary French Reservation
The Skug River Reservation
In all these woods I only found woodpeckers, nuthatches, and a cardinal. But on my drive back into town I spotted a small flock of European Starlings on the campus of the Phillip’s Academy making it species number 31 for my Big January 2012 List!

Winter woodland with its own special beauty Kathie.
ReplyDeleteEverywhere I go in Morgan County, all the water is covered in ice too. Our canyon creeks are even completely iced over; however, Weber River is still running.
ReplyDeleteEven though you did not see many birds, the landscape is beautiful.
Creative ice shots.
ReplyDeletePretty ice! Hey, just wondering, have you ever submitted a Zero-bird checklist to eBird?
ReplyDeleteNice scenic pics. I really like the paths.
ReplyDeleteBet you heard some birds. Right?
