Nice pictures, I really like your Buck, Bald Eagles, and Red Bellied Woodpecker.
Beautiful peeks of your marvelous winter landscape. Holiday greetings to you and yours!
Your winter is beautiful but rather scarily challenging. Thanks for the great photos and greetings. Holiday greetings to you too from a much warmer South Africa.
Beauties!

A marvelous series of captures; a mink, how cool to sight! The wintry river scene is gorgeous!
Such beautiful photos, and a mink and a muskrat!
Thank you for sharing your lovely holiday impressions, Nick. I wish you a peaceful and happy holiday season.
Ooooh, a muskrat!! You know I love the deer, but every one of these images reminds me that there is so much out there to observe and appreciate. Thank you for bringing your neck of the woods to all of us.
