Snow in Central, IL

Yesterday we awoke to snow.  The trees were well decorated.  This photo was taken in the afternoon at the Adams Sanctuary in Springfield.  It is 40 plus acres of wooded land right in the middle of Springfield.  Several years ago the Audubon Society toyed with selling it for development, but public outcry caused them to decide to improve it instead.  One thing I noticed was brush piles.  If you want rabbits, brush piles are a necessity to protect the rabbits from predators like foxes, wild dogs, bobcats, wild house cats,  and coyotes.
