After our snows of October, the weather has improved dramatically with many visiting the Sanctuary to enjoy the above normal temperatures. The reflections on the water in the Sanctuary have been a photographer’s dream, capturing the clouds and sky like a mirror. While not a lot of animal or bird activity has been observed, visitors are enjoying feeding the ever-present local chickadees by hand. Keep your eyes and ears open for Pileated Woodpeckers who have been seen and heard in the area – they look like “Woody Woodpecker” and have a distinct rattling call.
