Three intrepid club members ventured out on a trek from Washington Crescent to scenic parts of the Woodpecker Trail System. Sunny skies kept our spirits up despite the chilly winds.
The fox, wolf, mole, squirrel tracks throughout the fresh snow proved the critters are active. Just not when we are around.
Chickadees and Blue Jays were heard as was an unusual bird that called. We whistled and got it to answer a few times before it lost interest and flew away.
No otter activity was seen at the creek nor the marsh at Washington Snow dump.
One snowmobile swooped along the trail just a few minutes before the huge Snobird Trail Groomer smoothed the OFSC Trail.
Lunch was on the shore of Slipper Lake. There was one ice shack with a small group of people fishing and enjoying a campfire on shore.
