Last year we had a Red-headed woodpecker that visited our feeder on a regular basis. I actually think there were at least 2 that fed freely here. One was immature as I could see evidence of some brown-ish feathers adorning the bird. This year, much to my chagrin, no Red-headed woodpecker. But there was a … Continue reading 2-15-2020: An Uncommon Visitor

2-2-2020: Groundhog Day – There’s the Rub!
Looks like Punxsutawney Phil did NOT see his shadow so we’re in for an early Spring – right? Here some 500 miles West of where most of the SRS members live, I have seen the sun today!

10-4-2019: Van Halen’s ‘Jump’ Had Nothing on this Fish!
First, this story appears with a date-stamp outside the season in which it occurred, spring - I know! I thought I'd share it anyway because it happened in May a few years ago.

But there is success to be had – with … Continue reading 7-28-2019: Summertime And The Livin’ Is Easy – Trout Fishing though can be an entirely different story… sometimes.

6-18-2019: My June Trip to the Cabin
It has taken me a while to get back here to the website - many apologies. There's something about gaining a 'Certificate of Occupancy' that just seemed to preoccupy me and as a result - I simply have not been adding content. I am still seeking content from our members and this plea has been … Continue reading 6-18-2019: My June Trip to the Cabin
