I haven’t seen many robins north of 60° north latitude, but here’s one that is either very early or may have overwintered.
Amazingly, some do, relying on berries to survive as robins are not seed eaters. In summer, they eat bugs and worms, but those aren’t much available in most winter climates. They will also eat suet, so if you have a suet feeder in your yard, you might attract an early or overwintering robin.
Happy Saturday; happy weekend.
We are still dealing with colder temperatures after a run of pleasant, heading-toward-spring weather, but for the most part it has been sunny.
Unfortunately, we’re predicted to get more snow tomorrow, apparently about 2-3 cm (1 inch), but warmer weather beckons as I will be heading further south at the end of the week.
Happy Tuesday.
We have had some amazing Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) lately.
Instead of the usual green, we have also had shades of pink, purple, red, and yellow; people have been able to see them as far south as New Mexico. These spectacular night shows are caused by some unusual solar flare activity and are expected to continue until about the middle of 2025.
Happy Monday.
… but the flurries ended and the sun soon returned.
Sometimes, winter doesn’t know when to leave!
Not a spring chicken but a spring chickadee!
We still have lots of ravens around, so I hope you stay safe, little one.
Happy Friday.
The snow is starting to disappear from these needles.
I am sure however that winter isn’t finished with us yet. It will try to re-assert itself and will snow, huff, blow, and swirl, but its efforts will dwindle until … spring!
Happy mid-week.
There’s a lot of snow on our roof, and it’s beginning to get soft, melty and slidey.
Right now it’s up there solidly, but it either will come down with a thunk or will simply melt away.
I predict that this particular roof glacier will fall rather than melt, but we’ll see. The snowy awning over the door has been trimmed back, eliminating any danger of a sudden snow dump while exiting the house, so it’s fun to watch the progression of the rest of it.
Happy Tuesday.
A misty, moody March sunset.
But it’s warmer and there’s sun!
Happy Monday.
Happy Thursday.
Happy Tuesday.
