Tracking MAK

Great pictures and video again!  What time do you go out mornings?  Is your ride in a jeep?

Thanks Nora! I go out between 9-10am and stay out until noon. Most days I'm driving my sisters Grand Cherokee Laredo Jeep but a few times I've taken my brother-in-laws Dodge Dakota pick up truck.

Well, I guess you're starting out just about now.  Stay warm!

   Day 12 in Paradise had a starting temperature of 9 (F) -13 (C) and a covering of snow overnite made for slick roads as they don't use salt here. I had the pick up truck today for my watch with no 4 wheel drive on it so I didn't drive on any hilly roads on or off the ranch. The cattle had frozen snow on their backs and the ponds all had a layer of ice on them. I watched a Red-tail Hawk hunt from tree to tree while a White-crowned Sparrow watched me from a few feet away. Mr. Mockingbird was guarding his berry bush as I came up on him. I spotted some cows eating hay that was rolled out from one of those round hay bales and a Paint Horse. Bertha was eating her breakfast of hay stuck on the fence and a couple watch dogs were eyeballing me as I went by their property. Dark-eyed Juncos were enjoying the seed I put out and Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal dined together as well. The sun is shining bright and it has warmed up to the low 20's as I write this-much better than the cold and blizzard conditions at home in Rochester. Stay safe out there!

Just caught up on your last three days in "Paradise", Arkansas, MAK! Your photos and videos give a really good sense of the lay of the land. I don't think I'd ever want to leave! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well, it is hard to leave when I come here, but only because I will miss my family. Happy New Year to you and Ron!

Enjoying my daily ride-alongs with you, MAK!

Oh nice, we have another few weeks of tracking MAK!  ))

Bobbie and Nora, I'm glad you're enjoying my adventures with me. It does my heart good to hear from y'all!

   Day 13 in Paradise brought my first White-tail Deer sightings as I was driving down the wooded Mariano Rd. Boy they are tough to spot with the way they blend into the woods. Ginger and Savannah posed for me as I left for my watch out the driveway. I watched a Kestrel and 2 Red-tail Hawks hunt with the last RTH catching something and flying off with it. Berthas' owner came out and asked why she saw me stop everyday-I told her that I loved how her horse always came out to greet me. She told me that Bertha was abused and she rescued her-some days she kisses her and some days tries to bite her but she's getting more trusting all the time. I came across some interesting yard art and 2 cows that looked like one with 2 heads at each end! lol Starlings,mockingbirds and Meadowlarks also entertained me and Blackie made a brief appearance.

I enjoyed your album as always but my special treat was the meadowlarks, which I never see around here. I also liked the photos of the farm machinery.

I liked the yard art and two-headed cow. What was the hairy beast?

It looks like it was a beautiful day!

Dot, this is the only place I've ever seen Meadowlarks. Now that I know you like farm equipment I'll include more pics of them-there's certainly plenty of it around!

Nora, the hairy beast was a miniature horse with its winter coat. It was a beautiful day with a temperature in the low 40's and wall to wall sunshine. The weather is supposed to take a turn for the worse tho with a cold front coming thru tomorrow night dropping 1-3 inches of snow into Sunday. Around here that's a lot of snow because these people don't know how to drive in it and they don't have plows or put salt on the roads. High temp Sunday of 20 (F) and 12 (F) on Monday. Bad winter for everyone this year!
