Found on a vertical daylily stem after it was just cut down. Caterpillar was still just visible inside. I attached it to this red maple branch (as it finished the cocoon) and put netting around to keep a bird from pecking it. Can observe it many times a day and can remove the netting next spring at breakout time. Any other tree I should put it on after coming out?

Incredible experience with this Mink. She was moving her babies from one den to another. When I arrived, I was told she had already moved 2. I saw her move 2 more.

Not sure why she was doing this, but guessing her den was disturbed somehow. It is right next to a place where fishermen sit, but not sure if it was that or another animal that got up in there.

Such interesting behavior to see!

hunting from nearby tree, about 10:30am, looking intently down at snow, then landed and mantled for a couple of minutes, burying its head into the snow several times before flying off in the opposite direction
