For the past couple years, I’ve seen or heard flickers at Beech Hill all winter. They’re sticking around. It occurred to me just now as I recalled hearing—then seeing—one up there this afternoon. I imagine it’ll stick around.

It was a nippy afternoon, maybe upper-30s or lower-40s (F), with a bit of a breeze. The landscape is mostly brown now, and the sky today was mostly gray.
