Black-capped Chickadee.

A few years ago, winter began on 02 November, with more than a foot of wet snow. Today, the temperature reached 50 degrees (F), and the winds blew hard out of the south. Few birds on the hill—crows mostly. I did encounter a couple of chickadees, though.

Still pretty warm tonight. Warm tomorrow, too, I hear.
