Warmer

It was warmer yesterday which rendered the snow soft and sloshy. Birds were singing, robins sipping snow water, a fine afternoon for strolling and observing, all in all a happy stroll.


I think this sign says something about staying off the grass.

It's been a while since I've seen the 69th street raccoon out of the hidey-hole. All seems fine, a healthy raccoon, four seconds of preening and back to sleep.

The redbelly woodpecker pecks at, rather than sleeping in holes.

Screaming for food. Or territorial claim??

I heard them before seeing them, a nice flock of cedar waxwings.

Bottoms up!
