Visiting The Field this time of year brings to mind past and future-the past more colorful fall and the future green spring soon to come. Now is the in-between time--the fields are brown and the trees are barren-there is no green in sight, but the rebirth is soon to come. There is visible promise in the beginning red budding of the Maple trees near the creek, and the Bluebirds diving for insects in the fields on warm days. The continuity of life is always well represented by the birds, who carry the flag of survival no matter the season, no matter the weather. Our resident birds remind us of the strength of life as their soon to come early nesting this spring will announce life’s continuing renewal. Last week I was able to capture a few of our residents gearing up for the renewal in The Field.
I also saw several of the Fox Squirrels who are well represented here. This is one of the areas hereabouts that one can find this large (about one and a half times larger than the Gray Squirrel) species. The male is black with a white nose, and the female is quite reddish. Both are very striking critters. I was able to get a picture of a Fox female adjacent to a Gray so you can compare their relative size. Enjoy the pics below.
