Hi all,

   This afternoon I ventured to Blue Mash Trail to see what was about.  The activity was very slow and it was mostly quiet.  It started to cloud up about 4pm.  Most notable was the local Red Fox making his rounds. He has a wonderful fluffy winter coat, and looks quite handsome.
The ponds are still covered with thin ice. No waterfowl present, although I did hear some Canada Geese in the landfill area.
