Snow storm over the plains of abraham in Quebec City. We can hardly see the Musée national des beaux-arts in the background.

One of the highlights of my recent, abbreviated road trip was visiting the Plains Indian Museum at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, WY.
Brdy is a range of hills in the Czech Republic, forming a long massif stretching for cca.60 km southwest from Prague.
The northern section of the Brdy is called "Hřebeny" and features one narrow ridge (highest elevation Písek - 690m).
The main Brdy range starts south of the Litavka river gorge and consists of several major elevations connected into one plateau, the highest peaks among them being Tok (864m), Praha (862m) or Třemšín (827m).
Most of the Brdy is covered by forest, and it is one of the largest contiguously forested areas in the interior of the country. Large sections of the massif are designated as a restricted military area and closed to the public. The Brdy military area has been a source of controversy for several decades.

Having lost its military no-go zone status just recently, the Brdy mountain range remain unspoiled and perfect for an off-the-beaten-path hiking exploration.
In February, we pursued a winter day-long 40km through-hike, starting in Příkosice and finishing our hiking in Příbram, wandering across deep woods and treeless plains between Padrťské rybníky ponds and Jordán plains - a rewarding though quite challenging endeavour.

The Plain Prinia, or the Plain, or White-browed, Wren-Warbler, (Prinia inornata), is a small warbler in the prinia family. It is a resident breeder from Pakistan and India to south China and southeast Asia. A related form P. p. subflava, resident in Africa south of the Sahara is sometimes considered the same species, but is usually designated Tawny-flanked Prinia, Prinia subflava (Gmelin, 1789).
This skulking passerine bird is typically found in wet lowland grassland, open woodland, scrub and sometimes gardens. The Plain Prinia builds its nest in a shrub or tall grass and lays 3-6 eggs. The Tawny-flanked Prinia nests in herbage and lays 2-4 eggs.
These 13-14 cm long warblers have short rounded wings, a longish tail, strong legs and a short black bill. In breeding plumage, adults are grey-brown above, with a short white supercilium and rufous fringes on the closed wings. Underparts are whitish-buff. The sexes are identical.
In winter, the upperparts are a warmer brown, and the underparts more buff. The tail is longer than in summer. There are a number of races differing in plumage shade. The endemic race in Sri Lanka retains summer plumage, including the shorter tail, all year round.
Like most warblers, the Plain Prinia is insectivorous. The song is a repetitive tlee-tlee-tlee.

"The Davies Plain Hut was originally built by the Gibson family which many local cattlemen used in 1939, but the last cattle were run and grazed here in 1956. John Gibson was the first lease and took up the lease of the land in 1892 on Block A5. The hut is constructed of Woollybutt logs, with a steep gable tin roof and weatherboards. Inside the hut, there is a dirt floor, with a large fireplace to one end. In more recent years the hut was been substantially rebuilt in about 1995, and a wood store has been added at the end of the hut. "
