The two I refer to as the 'twins'. These are the two very tiny but scrappy little raccoons that suddenly appeared outside the Retreat last summer - without a mom! Later they joined a slightly older group of youngsters that appeared almost very night. Oddly enough, though much smaller than the others they were accepted as part of the group. The smallest one (on the right in this photo) was actually very dominant of the whole gang. the small one is also the most inquisitive and seems to be quite willing to become friends with me. (And so far ONLY me). The other larger chappie is actually quite timid.I have no idea of their sex. Time to give them names, I think.

The Supermoon - May 5th.
We have moved - and in the process of unpacking. What a job. The 'Retreat' has been relocated though it will be some time before the cameras are ready and running. Nights are still cold, but the last few days have been sunny and reasonably warm. There are lots of birds returning to th area - including at least one very big hawk. Milady is sure she saw what may have been a wolf just the other evening. No sign of any raccoons yet, though I'm told they are around. Yes to the chipmunks, but I have not seen any squirrels yet.
April in the mountains
Up just before dawn, and what do I see? I arrived at the new house the night before to check out things before renovations started. Snow I was not expecting, though,of course, it was no surprise. The beauty and the fresh air was!

A New Path
I'm surrounded by boxes! In less than a month the Retreat will be moving to it's new loation. I can only wonder what creatures may come to visit. We will be far away from traffic noise, low flying aircraft and heavy freight trains. It's bound to be quite an experience. Hopefully both still and video cameras will be set up and running in short order. ATB!

Move Delayed
The proposed move to the north country has been put on hold until next spring. This photo is about where the 'Retreat' will be relocated - hopefully by early next May. The main house is just out of sight off to the right. The small river is straight ahead and just in view. It should be a great spot to watch all sorts of critters. (Including bears - i'm not sure I'm too keen on them). Grin.
It'sthat time of year

The Night Shift Arrives
This friendly youngster is quite willing to clean up anything that has been left by the daytime birds or Gizmo Hogg. Thankfully this one is almost completely odorless, at least for now. :))

This bird finds warm is good
Quite a difference from the picture taken back late in the winter.
It's been too long. Computer problems were part of the problem in keeping things more or less up-to-date.
However there are some very BIG changes coming to Rusty's Retreat. True, things are going to be slow until the Fall, but wait and see.
ATB! Rusty
