A Little Dusting

Bird HouseA week into March and we woke up with light snow gently falling. Only lasted an hour or so and certainly didn’t seem to slow anybody down. If anything the bird chatter was louder than usual. It’s great that you can record sounds so well with just an iPhone.

Surviving Cold Weather

We’ve had unusually cold weather this week with temperatures in the teens at night and below freezing for several days.  Food, water and shelter become very important.

This heater keeps the water in the birdbath from freezing.
