This spring, I’ve talked about the roller-coaster ride that we’ve been on with fronts and cold weather coming through every week.

This week, I had the privilege to stop by Hooska Park along the Mississippi River, just a few minutes outside of downtown La Crosse to watch eagles play and hunt.
Now is the time for hunters and outdoors people to get out in the woods and countryside and start looking for shed antlers from buck deer. I’ve talked to shed hunters who’ve already been out in the woods hunting sheds and finding a few. Bucks can begin to lose their “racks” anytime from late winter to springtime. Every year, there seems to be more and more shed antler hunters out looking for antlers from big bucks as soon as they can get into the woods.
This past weekend was a typical winter weekend in Wisconsin. The last couple of weeks I’ve been writing about a few of the winter activities that are available in southern Wisconsin.

The Ferry Bluff Eagle Council started counting eagles, as it does every year, at the beginning of December.
Wisconsin has finally gotten its snow for Christmas. I just got inside from shoveling, plowing snow and cleaning up and filling my bird feeders. This is the kind of weather when birds need all the help that they can get from us. Keep your feeders full and clear out some area on the ground to spread seed for the ground feeding birds.
