Do you know if they were actually feeding, or were they simply looking for food?

On this day I'm sure they were simply looking for food. Prior to the snowfall we have had extremely mild temps in the 50's and 60's and they were feeding near the wetlands areas on the job and the spots were the machines disturbed the soil. My logger observed them feeding while he was sitting eating his lunch. I think they migrated up here early because of the mild weather we were having.

That's right.

I wondered how long it would take for someone to notice the person behind the tree! That was my aunt hiding behind the Oak tree. The photo was taken in the fall of 1946. My aunt was 17 years old. And yes those were rabbit hutches according to the back of the picture. I tried to blow up the picture digitally without distorting it to badly. The original is only 2 3/4 x 4 1/2.

And the fox hanging from the tree. The back of the picture say "successful fox hunt '46".

No disrespect, but that looks like Aunt Frank (or William, or Robert, or...) behind the tree

None taken. I wouldnt have known who it was if it wasn't clearly marked on the back of the picture :)

I am a fan of PH guns and not many 20's were made. " The Parker Story " says that only 5 steel barrels guns were made with 32 inch barrels. Welcome and enjoy your rare Parker.
