that we basically had summer weather until last week, but now things have returned to much more normal. While I don’t like freezing, I know how to protect myself and believe that nature in our area needs the four seasons to properly thrive year round, so I am very happy about the frosty temperatures we are currently getting. The heated bird baths are doing their work, and I noticed a lot more visitors at the peanut butter branch cam. There is one lone Grackle left. I am sure it will make it even if it stays all winter but this is a first.
