Photo is at Bottomless Lake State Park. Some great work by the CCC.
11 below was the low last night. The heater stayed on all night. Jerry was cold, but I stayed warm. The truck was covered in frost and I had two cups of tea. Our neighbors, who were tent camping were up early and I am assuming going to town for breakfast. The other neighbor, in a pacearrow, prepared to leave. When he left I noticed his passenger was a female cowgirl. Even stranger she was a dummy! Yet another neighbor is out walking his cats.
Went back to Bitter Lakes. More Sandhill Cranes than the other nights. So many that some just kept flying. As the cranes were coming in the snow geese were flying around, almost as if they were being pushed out. I tried to count one flock coming in and counted about 70, that is small compared to some of the groups coming in. I would think one flock had two to three hundred looking very impressive and stirred up most of the snow geese.
We heard some coyote howling and yipping in the distance and before Jerry could get his recorder out they stopped. I would like to have a recording of that.
