My dad got a shot of this great blue heron in the snow.

Some people identified these as goats, some identified them as bighorn sheep. In either case they were very bold--when I started taking pictures I was about 50 feet away, they were slowly moving in my direction while browsing and got to about 25 feet away without seeming to care--although when I left and someone else came to the same spot they looked wary. (This was in a state park where there was no hunting.)

One of several attempts to get a good photo of a black capped chickadee. None were very successful. They hardly ever sit still.
Usually red-bellied woodpeckers are not so hard to photograph but this one was way in the woods and many twigs in the way. The best of the bunch even though it's beak is cut off
At a pond this appears to be a "wild" domestic Swedish black duck. It was happily hanging with a pile of mallards.

I threw outside a molded bagel. This gray squirrel seems to like it.

Only my second sighting of an opossum. It was this morning by the garage. It had discovered and enjoyed very much the paper wasp nest that I have removed from the garage attic last fall. These photos taken from perhaps 30 feet away but it let one of us walk as close as 10 feet. It finally spooked when it heard a red-tailed hawk screeching up in the air.

What the hell is it eating?

I said in the text opening the post. It's eating a paper wasp hive that I had dislodged from the garage attic and let lie on the ground all winter. I expect that there are lots of dead wasp eggs inside.
Cool series of shots of the opossum. I have yet to see one, alas.
