Today we visited Nippersink Forest Preserve in Round Lake.
Nippersink is a 309 acre park with two lakes, woods, wetlands and marshes. Here’s a view we had from the main trail that circles the park.
It was very cold with a biting wind. We couldn’t feel our faces for much of the walk.
Here Arthur’s smiling but you can hardly tell since he’s so bundled up.
And that’s me, bundled up on the boardwalk.
The sun was shining brightly through the bare trees. In just a few weeks the trees will start to be green again.
While walking, we saw few birds. A pair of crows called from across the park. Some juncos foraged in the foliage. And we saw a little brown furball busy at the water’s edge in one of the few places that wasn’t frozen over: a muskrat!
I took this little video when we were a safe distance away. You might want to turn down the audio as the wind was howling:
