Dark when I awoke and shoveled myself out of the parking lot. Plow guy never came. Deep snow from yesterday. Shoveling not an option until the weekend. Sunny day, though, with lots of birds about.

Also, a nice fresh snowshoe tramp up Beech Hill with Jack. We were the first to hike up from the parking lot.

Saw a raven up there carrying something very white and croaking with its mouth full.
