New Year’s Greetings to All
As one year’s trail ends
Another’s journey begins
What lies ahead
Are tales unknown
What lies behind
Are stories now owned

Love getting your updates here. Happy new year Dick, Robin and Hootie.
Thanks for the New year’s check in, Pam. I enjoy staying connected with my life friends here. Give a Hoot! Don’t Pollute! (Remember that old Woodsy Owl slogan?) Hoo-ppy New Year!
Thanks Dick! Blessings to you and your family in the new Year as well! Is it my imagination or is there a snake under the claws in the first picture? Tried to zoom in but unable to.
You have a good eye, Alan. Yes, I think there is something under the owl’s talons. I also zoomed in but couldn’t quite make out what it was. I’m not absolutely sure what it is, but given the time of year, I don’t think it’s a snake. Given the locale there on the outlet from my swamp pond, my best guess is that it’s a frog. Surprisingly enough, even in winter, the racoons, herons, foxes, hawks (and owls, obviously) etc. still have luck in that spot hunting them.
