Up at Lory Before Snow

Went up to the Mill Creek trail yesterday, before today's good dumping. No grouse, no turkey (I can always hope...) but a fellow hiker did point out MOUNTAIN LION tracks crossing the trail. Would have enjoyed seeing that lion (yes, from a safe distance...)

Water still running at a favorite spot - though cold as anything yesterday.

Chickadees and Nuthatches EVERYWHERE...

Townsend's Solitaire and

"?" Sparrow...Now known to be Cassin's Finch :)

Would have been fun today in all this snow!! But it was nice to stay inside and watch goldfinches :)
