American Crow.
Low-20s (F) this morning. Breezy. Shower, breakfast, check the news online—then off on an early hike with Jack.
Silver bay.
Just one couple when we got there, bundled against the wintry chill, but a few others showed up soon enough to witness from a hilltop the start of a beautiful day.
Bird-wise, the most excitement I had was when I heard Bohemian Waxwings at the post office and looked up to see a flock of about twenty or thirty of ’em swirl overhead. They’re around.
Tonight is black and starry and moonlit. Spring begins tomorrow. Snow still in the forecast for the following day.
