Taking what Kaia taught me yesterday, today I hunted the grass. There were birds in it all of which I witnessed from a distance. Usually by December there would be enough snow in the grass that the pheasants would have left for the warmer cover of cattails. With the light snow cover there is protection from the wind in the bluestem grass. Cattails are prime winter habitat because even with significant snowfall there large pockets near the ground in which birds can escape the wind and move about. Normally that's where they'd be in December.
It was nice walk, good exercise rewarded by the sight of several roosters. It's all good and I'm grateful for the opportunity.
Takk for alt,
