I spend most of my time indoors during the winter -- especially this week, as it has been at or near zero degrees during the day for the past couple of days.  There's nothing I love more than being outside during the spring, summer and fall, but winter I can do without.  As I walk through the house I'm constantly glancing out the windows looking for wildlife.  I really got in the habit of this last winter when we had a major beaver infestation around the creek.  I desperately wanted to spot one of the little boogers but never did.  Thankfully, they left in the spring and haven't returned, but the habit is still with me. 

Snow on the ground makes it easier to spot visitors, which are usually birds or the occasional squirrel.  Yesterday I spotted this guy stopping by the creek for a drink and a rest.

Have a great weekend!
