I found out that it’s actually a Skipper. Which is a Butterfly.
Forecast for the next few nights is temps in the mid teens and daily highs not getting above freezing.
Spring is a long way off.
Good morning Lady C, thanks for posting this guy.
Claudia is very kind to post such poor images, unfortunately I have a screen porch that I can’t seem to get my camera to ignore.
We’ve got a LOT of these gals, mostly at night on roads in front of my car, so we don’t do anything to encourage them to visit our backyard mud hole (it’s been a VERY rainy winter, though I’m grateful it isn’t SNOW), but one does occasionally leap by to sample my creek on his way to drop his dingleberries in my neighbor’s yard, and I’m OK with that too.
I used to think deer were cute and occasionally tasty back when I didn’t have much to do with them other than cleaning up the occasional accident, but now that I get to capture them in my headlights myself at 40-50 MPH, they kind of seem like vermin now, especially since it’s not hunting season…
Thanks for the Sunday break, Claudia.
God Bless,
SNS
It’s really Prespring.
Nice to imagine April in January tho…
Ah, no. Freezing nights and cold days with February and March sill on the calendar below most of January, 2022. But Sundays are always better with critters.
It may not be spring yet, but we just got our power back after 7 long days. I’ll take it.
@PHenry
Glad to hear you have power now. Friday night must have been tough as cold as it was.
It could be worse:

Springtime yet? Heck we just got 6″ yesterday!
Thanks C!
Have a great strong week.
