Melting

The snow has slumped enough that squirrels are willing to hop through it.  Yesterday they stuck to the aerial paths through the trees and bushes.  Cardinals and sparrows came for breakfast without the urgency of yesterday.  The paper says yesterday broke a temperature record for cold, though the snow depth was not a record.

In the late morning, titmice and chickadees came to the feeder.  Then a song sparrow took over.  The wren finally found the peanuts I put out.


Another pink sunset.  I just read Look Up! Bird-Watching in Your Own Backyard written and illustrated by Annette LeBlanc Cate which is a Silbert Honor Book
