Flicker Coming Our Way
One of the highlights of our time at cold, cold Mercer Meadows this week was a Northern Flicker. He was sitting on a branch deep in the forest. I told my friend Alison to focus on the flicker while I played a little flicker sound on my iPhone. And look what happened:

Mercer Meadows in the Snow
I spent a wonderful evening and morning trying my best to photograph the short eared owls at Mercer Meadows in New Jersey. It was colder than cold. I went with my friend Alison and we both were layered from head to toe but still frozen after five hours in the cold. We saw two short eared owls about a mile away, but lots of other critters posed for our cameras. Here's a sampling:
