This morning's low temperature was 33 (at our house). Good sign. In the last few days, we've seen our junco as well as spruce grouse, and of course, the chickadees, nuthatches and jays. Stellar jays, 3 of them, still occasionally coming in for peanuts. We have heard a woodpecker in the near woods, but have not seen him/her. Snowshoe hares are starting to turn tan. Our one black-capped chickadee with the deformed beak, is still surviving, but his poor beak is becoming more and more deformed. It's long, curved in opposite directions, almost like a crossbill, and he works very hard to scoop up seeds or peanut butter.
We hope to report some more spring birds soon.
