The picture of the thermometer is what ours looks like this morning, no moose but they have been close enough to eat the dead plants in the hanging baskets hanging from the eves. We also have a ruffed grouse that comes to the kitchen window bird feeder twice a day to fill up on black oil sunflower seeds. It is pretty hard to count Chickadees but my bride counted 16 yesterday at our feeders both black capped and Boreal. Five Canadian Jays, 2 hairy woodpeckers, 2 downy woodpeckers and a magpie are regulars. We did have a nutchatch coming, but haven't seen it since before Chrismas, they are according to the bird books rare here and we fear that it has frozen to death.
Still in the throes of the short dark days of the sub-arctic winter but the daylight has increased by 57 minuets since the Solstice. Days are beautiful with the low, flat light with long dawns and dusk.
