I’m in the midst of cabin fever right now and the forecast for the day is basically clouds and snow which isn’t helping. Perhaps I will be able to visit the local pond and take some snowy images if there are any birds nearby, that might help the cabin fever. The forecast for tomorrow morning looks okay right now so maybe, just maybe, I will get out into the field tomorrow.

I looked through my files this morning looking for some thing from warmer days to share this morning.

When I came across this Western Grebe family image that I took at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge I knew this was an image that made me think of spring. The photo made me smile because of the cuteness of the grebe chicks being back brooded by the adults and how two of the chicks seem to be reaching out to each other. This Western Grebe picture made me think of warmer, sunnier days.

That is a good thing.

Life is good.
