It was quite foggy this morning.
I started my day just a bit early in hopes of discovering a few frost flowers on my way to work, but, alas, there were none.
I think it might have been a tad too warm and way too wet...although...a friend that lives 40-some-miles south of us was posting pics of frost flowers found on her property this morning. Maybe she didn't get as much rain as we did over the weekend? I don't know.
There were plenty of deer though. I saw at least ten on my way in to work. Most of them were hanging around the campground and picnic area.
I also observed a northern harrier hawk hunting just east of the nature center where I work. I watched it through the big, plate-glass window as it performed it's mesmerizing, acrobatic ritual of gliding down...almost touching its wingtip to the earth...then rising back up in search of prey.
This is one of my favorite sights during cold weather months on the tallgrass prairie. I will share more on northern harrier hawks at a later date.
What are some of your favorite sights during cold weather months where you live?
Until next time...
