| BIRDS AT THE FEEDER... |
 |
| ...OR ON THE PORCH FLOOR |
Sunday, 8:15 AM. -2 degrees F, wind NNW calm with moderate gusts. The sky is again overcast but does not have the fog and clammy atmosphere that made yesterday so miserable. The humidity is 79% and the barometer is plummeting, now at 30.73". Buddy and I took our walk this morning. It is a much better day than yesterday.
The cold weather and wind chill have made the birds ravenous, and they are mobbing the feeders. Those that get pushed off the hanging feeder find plenty of seeds on the porch floor, and many of the birds prefer to feed from the ground rather than a perch. I saw a beautiful male cardinal yesterday, the first I have seen this winter. He flew past the window but did not alight on the feeder. Sometimes they stay the winter, sometimes not.
