Thursday, December 27, 2007


Over 99 Photos (like the one of this loon) added to our new photo map. If you haven't, try searching "Mid Oaks Ave N, Stillwater, MN" on the map, zoom in as far as you can go, and doing a satellite view. We've tried to make the exact spot where we have taken every phot.

Three and a half inches of snow since Christmas Eve morning. Saw three Bald Eagles, along with three or four lone male Pheasants and a few small flocks of pheasant hens on the way to Nisswa.

Spotted a track today, fuzzy feet, body, probably a foot and a half long, made impressions in the snow, with an impressive strides of over two feet. Probably a cottontail.

White-tailed Deer spotted in Nisswa, MN. Seemed to be a younger one, just in the process of losing his spots.

Spotted three Bald Eagles and a Red-shouldered Hawk on the road between Cambridge and Foley this weekend.

10:40 AM
snowfall as of Devember 5 8:40 AM


Snow on the lawn was 7.75" as of last night, with a light dusting overnight. Technically, this is only up an inch and a half from the last measurement, but with strong Northern winds and the slow pressure of gravity, Saturday's snowfall had settled. It's estimated that we got around 3" in our area.
