A cardinals sits near a feeder on a cold winter day. Cardinals are a cheerful spot of color on snowy days, and have come to be symbols of the season.

An older photo of a bighorn sheep as the snow begins to fall. Scars and broken horns tell some of this ram's story.

A coyote emerges from some bushes near the water. When it noticed people, it paused briefly to look before moving on.

During a morning hike, a family of five juveniles and two adult trumpeter swans were hanging out on the path near the water. We sat and observed for a bit over two hours while enjoying the weather.

As I watched a great egret fishing in the shallow water, it reached down into the water. When it pulled something out of the water, it immediately jumped backward and dropped it.

For a different perspective on a trumpeter swan, a close-up of a foot of an adult. The claws help them to move in muddy environments.

To some, cedar waxwings symbolize community. As such, they seem to be a fitting subject for #TwosDay.

Magician egret plays with the light and the shadows from its own neck to make it appear that it is hollow.

A great egret in flight. The bird's wings are flapped down. The sunlight plays with shadows and light on its wings which creates a look as I'd rhe bird has most of its body missing

As the cranes prepare for migration to warmer areas, I can only hope they will return safely next year. This is especially true for the whooping crane whose numbers in the wild are less than one thousand.
