It's hard to believe that it is the beginning of December. Early Winter here has been most unusual. Temperatures have been above zero celsius for the most part. Occasionally, flurries fly in the air. I'm chomping at the bit to enjoy some of my favorite Winter activities like snowmobiling and snowshoeing. Things are icing up a bit only to be unthawed by unseasonably warm temperatures and rain. This year has been the rainiest on record around these parts. Climate change anyone? I can't help but wonder how this is affecting local wildlife. I'm willing to bet that bears are still getting up and foraging around the den. Interestingly, the birds have been slow to get to the feeders as there is a lot of food for them in the bush. A warm and wet Summer meant a lot of berries and seeds for them this year. What's weather like near you?
