Decided to get the airplane out today and get some aerial shots of the snow for the local paper. I was suprised to find 8 Gray Partidge on the taxiway at the Boone airport. I was more suprised to find them still there 2 hours later upon my return. They appeared to be oblivious to the airplane and concentrating on finding nourishment. I also flew over "Beamers" pond and found quite a number of Trumpeter Swans there as Steve Dinsmore had noted in a previous post. It was 40 degrees at 3,500 feet and 20 degrees on the ground. Hope the warm air makes it to the ground!
If this post is duplicated please forgive me. I've tried a couple of times to add it but for some reason it doesn't make it.
