New Year at Tifft

It's hard to believe it's January and there still is no

snow at Tifft Nature Preserve.

These gulls are walking on thin ice.



This duck found a patch of open water to splash in.



The owner of this nest thought some shredded paper
and tape would add a nice touch.



This buck was nice enough to pose for a picture.
