Wintertime Backyard Nature in New Jersey.

I know I am a fat Squirrel, but you forgot to fill the birdfeeder and it is snowing out. Image taken with a Nikon D850 camera and 500 mm f/4 VR lens.

Wintertime Backyard Nature in New Jersey.

About 4 inches of wet snow and sleet fell in the morning. I waited till it turned to cold rain to clear the driveway. The only reason I cleared the driveway was because I was expecting a UPS delivery. The snow blower has a hard time with wet snow. I had to stop several times to remove the packed “ice-cores” from the blower-chute. Time-lapse video recorded with a Garmin VIRB-360 camera.
