When I took the above picture of the tree and the snow with the woodshed and the Ford in the background, I did not know that the Ford had narrowly escaped being crushed by a falling oak limb. That Ford is our ranch truck..., it's not legal for the road, but since it never leaves the ranch that's not a problem. This looks like a big mess, but the limb came down just in front of the truck. To get the limb off, Dino put forks on the front tractor blade, stuck the forks under the limb and lifted.
I had all sorts of fun taking pictures near the bird feeders of our usual visitors, this one is of a treetop full of House Finches. I think it looks a bit seasonal, like a Christmas wreath.
Number 101 - Golden-crowned Kinglet. Regrettably, the picture I took was good enough to confirm the ID, but not good enough to share. These little birds have almost certainly been around as they are not rare by any means, but we just hadn't seen one yet. What a great year for birds!
