Above freezing and foggy this morning. Yesterday’s dusting had turned to a film of slush. Jack and I got up and down the hill without seeing or hearing a single bird—and then, at the parking lot, I heard a communicative crow.
Went to the little harbor in afternoon, about the time the clouds began to disperse. I’ve never not seen birds there.
Balmy today, cold tomorrow. Should be a high wind chill.
