With snow covering the ground and the departure of our summer guests we are starting to have animal visitors that are looking for food. The Martin in this picture is looking for sunflower seeds that might have dropped down from our bird feed -- or maybe he is looking for a mouse that might live under the steps below the bird feeder.
Earlier, this same Martin was playing nose tag with our cat. The Martin was outside running from one patio door window to another. The cat was inside running from window to window to touch the glass opposite the Martin. Definitely an exciting three minutes for all of us!
This morning there was a black wolf walking up the lake looking for food. People were calling neighbors with pets to warn them that a wolf was on the prowl. We see lots of wildlife action in the off season -- especially when the snow is not deep enought to keep the animals from searching our property for food.
