Very active birds this chilly morning. Active mostly at home—although I detected some evidence of migration on the mountainside. Where Jack and I headed for the second straight day for the first time since our move to Utah.
Got a nice photo of a chickadee. Out my front window. Dining on sunflower seeds—right off the sunflower.
