Central Ohio NatureA Snowy Walk in Late November
It was a quiet morning with a light snow falling so it seemed like a good day to walk to Griggs Reservoir and see what birds were lurking about. The dramatic colors of autumn are now gone and one must be happy with a more subtle beauty. A light snow had come to rest on bushes and trees. Kinglets, waxwings, robins, nuthatches, and creepers were about with their winter calls creating a cheerful murmur as we walked. A surprise was to see an Eastern Phoebe, not a bird I would expect this time of the year.

Thanks for stopping by.
Brrrrrrr… looks way too cold for the likes of me! Nice images though!
You’ve beaten us-we haven’t had any measurable amounts of snow in this part of the state yet. Have a great Thanksgiving!
You should be getting a good covering as I write this.
I liked the tree in the water. We haven’t had any snow yet although we often get a fall in November.
Thanks! So far we seem to be having an early winter which is putting a crimp on my bicycling!
You have to be fairly well organised with specialist equipment to cycle in the snow. I couldn’t do it.
