A treat to see in the forest today

Ruby-crowned Kinglet (I think). According to the map they do not make there home here in IL so I guess they were just passing through. A very busy bird, I must have a half dozen shots of where the bird had been but wasn't a fraction of a second later when the camera took the picture.

And even the turtle was enjoying the day, warming as best it could in the sub 40's.

Here is a bit of contrast. One of my brothers in norther WI sent me this of the snow fall this last week. His son plows on contract so they are getting their monies worth this year, he has had to plow again last week.
