Gradual warming trend.



It was a few degrees above freezing today with little wind. I was able to walk around the village without feeling cold. There is still not much water running in the ditches as the melt has been very slow and gradual.

I had to fill the feeder again today as the red polls and juncos are eating constantly and in large numbers. I still have not seen a house sparrow for several days now. There are the usual chickadees and one downy woodpecker still. No crows have visited the yard yet. The local crows must have bad eyesight because they have not taken away the chicken bones I put out.
