Time: 7:30 a.m.
Conditions: Sunny and a whopping 3 degrees Fahrenheit
Observed from: inside the house (DUH–it’s 3 degrees out there! Okay, I did go outside to sprinkle birdseed on the ground for the sparrows and juncos)
Notes: First I’d like to say that no matter how many years you’ve lived in a cold climate, it’s still disconcerting to go outside and feel your hair freeze solid and clank together like tiny weapons. Secondly, is it just me, or is 1-01-10 tricky to type/write? I’ve screwed it up a half-dozen times already today. I guess it’s a good thing I don’t work with binary code.
Today’s Count:
The birds must all be huddled somewhere because it’s very quiet at the feeders this morning.
5 Juncos
1 Crow
1 Fox Sparrow wondering why he didn’t migrate from this icebox
1 Cardinal
1 House Sparrow
2 White-breasted Nuthatches
2 Gray Squirrels
