People hiking to Lost Creek this weekend might spot the green ferns that I saw last week. It seemed strange to see the patches of green plants growing in the snow covered ground.

Although the Amnicon River appeared to be frozen, under the frozen surface there was water still flowing that can be seen at the base of the Upper Falls. The roar of the waterfall was quieter than normal with most of the dropping water occurring behind the ice wall.

A flock of Cedar Waxwings were attracted to the red berries in this shrub, but a gray squirrel chased them away after a few minutes.
