Winter makes a last ditch effort
Lightly whitening the places we go
Wild birds browse the woods and field edge

Somewhat warmer, and a lot less windy. Quite a few birds flitting around today—and one faraway eagle soaring.

The temp this morning was a few degrees warmer than yesterday. The winds were quite a bit stronger. The perceived air temperature was about the same. A beautiful day for a puffed-up chickadee.
