Looking upriver at the Sandy River in New Sharon. (Elizabeth(Stu) Mehlin/New Sharon)I don’t think sitting in ice cold water will warm this mourning dove up in Wilton. (Jim Knox/Wilton)Cattails in winter. (Jane Knox/Rangeley)Even this barred owl looks cold, as he sits and looks for food in Wilton. (Jim Knox/Wilton)Looks like the big one did get away: A buck in Rangeley. (Jim Knox/Wilton)Apples hanging on through the cold will be a delicious feast for deer. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)Frequent visitors to the Naliboff Snack Bar held their holiday party last week. Decorations, including a perfect snowfall, were simple, but festive. A wreath made a perfectly delicious party platter with hidden treats for all. Snowflakes gather on ribbon gracing a kissing ball. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)Ringing of the red bell brought guests from near and far. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)Blue Jay was the first to arrive. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)Word spread quickly and Squirrel wasted no time discovering the party platter. He dove right in. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)Squirrel took the best seat in the house to guard his find. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)Chickadees took turns posing for party photos. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)A blue ornament was given a good look, but held no treats. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)Turkey gave the kissing ball a brief glance. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)All too soon it was time for everyone to get home before dark. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)
