Snowed again overnight. Slushy stuff this time. Meant to bring snowshoes, but the hike was not too bad. Several bird species on the hill, but I only saw a couple.

Lately I’ve been swinging by the harbor to watch winter gulls and waterfowl. The Marine Park gets plowed, and I find the birds engaging. Every day seems different down there.

Probably swing by again tomorrow.
