The recent heavy snowfall delayed my departure to southern climes, so I took full advantage of the new snow and joined Len and Marlene and Dave and Patti for a 90 minute snowshoe adventure in magnificent Lakewood Forest Preserve in Wauconda, Illinois. We always see deer here, today's count being about 20 sightings. Our highest count for one hike is 55 deer. Here's some video footage of our hike today...
As we were leaving, a professional wildlife photographer from Montana arrived and we saw his huge tripod and gigantic 600mm zoom lens. He had been in Ohio and made a special trip to Lakewood before returning to Montana, just to photograph the deer here. He told us his next trip will be to Florida's Everglades, and from there he heads to Nome, Alaska to photograph musk oxen in the Arctic!
Tomorrow I leave for 4 months in Arkansas and Florida, which will also include an adventure vacation in Costa Rica, so check back often!
