The alarmist prediction of 4-6" of snow came to nothing. There was a tiny bit of ice on objects in shade and inch long, pencil thick icicles off the edge of the shingles. But it was very cold all day and windy in the morning. A hoodie drake floated and preened on the rough water. A mallard drake slept on the dock. An egret stalked along the edge of the dam.
A song sparrow and a white throat scurried around the patio. The myrtle warbler did the same when it wasn't protecting the suet. But it could not keep the downy woodpeckers away.
