Brian just go back for the day, its 1 pm. He spent all morning out fixing fence up Rock Creek on a quad. He saw 3 coyotes...none of them alive. There are sheep herders also leasing this land and aren't fond of the coyotes in the area. It snowed sideways for the first 1/2 of the day. It was COLD.
It was so cold he could hardly get the truck started when he got back to it because his hands wouldn't turn the ignition.
Lots of geese and ducks this morning, in fact lots of birds, all the time. The morning we arrived here a whole group had gathered together to count sage grouse. The bird is being studied to determine whether or not it should be on the endangered species list. It is to the best interest of the ranchers that it not be, so they are eager to be a part of bird counting expeditions.

Hi Kathleen, Thinking of you today. Wish you could be with us at the upcoming retreat. Diane
ReplyDeleteNever would have expected it to be so cold! Were you prepared for that? Should it be getting significantly warmer soon?
ReplyDeleteThey told us it would be cold in the fall, so we came prepared with lots of layers and winter gear...just didn't think we'd be using it now! I hope it will be warmer soon. We know in mid summer its in the 90's.....so it has to start trending that way eventually.
