Today our bird feeder was full of birds as the snow and freezing rain came down. In the short time I was watching, I saw some white-throated sparrows, tufted titmouses/mice?, cardinals, juncos and chickadees. Sadie enjoyed looking out the window at them as they jockeyed for feeding positions on our two bird feeders This morning I went to the park with Sadie, and we saw a couple of deer but not much else. It was a good day to see nature.

The river, after the week of rain and then yesterday's snow, has swollen beyond its banks on many sections of the Riverwalk. The geese hug the shoreline a the rapid river speeds past, and the birds hang high up in the trees. Deer come down from the hills to drink from temporary ponds created in areas that had been dry meadowland. This afternoon, a small bluebird caught my eye as it jumped from a tree into a newly created pond, stood there, and then jump up to fly back into the nearby tree. It was a beautiful sight in the winter world where the snow had melted into puddles and the river was encroaching upon the land.
It was another good day on the Riverwalk.
