Leslie Young was nice enough to share this photo of a mink at the Celery Farm. She writes:

"The mink was really moving. I was by the Wardens watch. Another photographer said the mink ran to the North end of the lake, jumped through the ice to disappear in the water underneath the clump of four trees at the lake's end."

Thanks, Leslie!

(I love the little patch of white under its mouth. You can click to enlarge.)

Tom Mitchell put together a gallery of  Celery Farm calendar images on the Fyke Nature Association website. You can see them here:

What's especially neat is that if you can click on the covers for 2021, 2022, and 2023, you can then see the photos for all 12 months.

(Great job, Tom!)

(I'd also like to give a huge tip of the hat to  Carol Flanagan for creating so many of these calendars. She is awesome.)

The Celery Farm was quiet during my walk today. The snow was blowing sideways, coating the sides of trees.

I liked this shot as I entered from Green Way -- a nice mix of snow, path and pines.

A friend outside Philly sent me this photo and asked what I thought it was.

I gave my answer, and the Merlin app agreed. But almost every raptor ID I'm asked about turns out to be Plan B.

What do you think it is?
