Nice walk but no feathers to show for it

[Richard Flanders]

I know you're all bored with me showing these same pictures every spring but it was a particularly nice day yesterday. My first flite since early September. The snow in town was/is bottomless slush but it was nice down in the Range where spring is not quite as advanced. Still, the snowshoeing was pretty tough. Lots of ptarmigan tracks in the brush on the ridge but no birds. They seem to come out there for feeding but retreat to the valley to the south for roosting. I set up my step thrower and shot(at) some clays with my Repro 28. I managed to hit a few. Perfect setup as I can retrieve the unbroken clays and reuse them.
