Triangle.
Ice on the edges of the brook this morning. A phoebe flitting around out back for much of the day. Phoebes also still flitting around Beech Hill, where Jack and I ended up (as usual) in mid-afternoon. Not much else to be seen or heard up there, though, what with another chilly, blustery wind.
Eastern Phoebe.
Still, you can almost feel the birds returning. I expect to see kestrels soon.
