Gosh, been a little busy as of late, so haven’t had the chance for an update. I am anxiously awaiting spring’s arrival, but unfortunately mother nature hates me and dumped 5 inches of snow on us last night. UGH! The deer are getting a little anxious about this too, I think. Food for them has been scarce since its been buried by the darn white stuff.

Migrating birds started coming back. A ton of red tail have made their way through…

..and the Common Grackles have been ravaging my bird feeder. Although a lot of people tend not to like grackles, I actually have a fondness for them that I can’t really explain.

And lastly, I found a nice little silverfish (Thysanura) that let me take its photo.

Silverfish are a wingless insect that get their name from the scale-like appearance on their body. They are one of the most primitive insect orders that date back some 300 million years.
