5 January 2007 -- Holman Marsh Lake trail, HRM Martine and I walked the 5 km to Holman Marsh Lake along the unofficial ATV trail system that leads off our subdivision in White's Lake. A beautiful day, with the snow firm underfoot, but slippery at times. But the woods were quiet. I've never before done this hike in winter without seeing woodpeckers -- we saw and heard none today. We managed 15 Black-capped Chickadees in four groups, 6 Boreal Chickadees in two groups, and a flock of 7 Pine Grosbeaks that dropped down to investigate when I pished in some chickadees. There was but a single Golden-crowned Kinglet, and a few ravens rounded out the list. There were incredible numbers of Snowshoe Hare footprints, and also those of many deer, but not a single grouse track.
