 Black-capped Chickadee. A degree or two below freezing first thing—cold enough to walk on crusts of snow without breaking through (much). Cardinals and chickadees singing, and a calling Snow Bunting flew over. Fitting, I suppose, since we’re told to expect a “plowable” snowfall Saturday.
I should know better than to keep predicting winter’s last gasp.
