What a change in the past couple of days. Sunday we were driving around with the top down on the car, and today I didn’t even want to walk out the front door, it was so cold. We were hearing reports of snow, an inch tonight, and a few more inches tomorrow. So far, it has been cold and blustery, and a few flakes were in the air this afternoon, but that’s as far as it’s gone. The precipitation has been to the east of us, and it looks like it will stay there.
There were a few birds out back when I arrived home, trying to get some dinner before the sun set. A goldfinch was swinging on the Christmas-tree-shaped suet, probably attracted by the nyjer in it.
There were a few finches, and this common grackle that seemed to be huddling between the posts to escape the wind.
