WINTERTIME AT THE CFZ: Fun Fun Fun (until Daddy takes the crystalline precipitation away)

The CFZ is still essentially snowed in, and I am actually mildly interested in the ways that some of the animals have adapted to it. The male Reeves' Pheasant, for example, seems to be throughlly enjoying himself, swaggering around his aviary and displaying as if he owned the place.

We shall be getting him a couple of wives in March; maybe even three; so it will be interesting to see how the social behaviour of this undoubtedly glamorous species progresses through the year.

Here we just have a picture of Corinna by the back door, which I am posting just because I like it. Sadly, when everything about you is virgin white, the mossy stains on the wall of the house really get shown up into sharp relief.

Never mind.
