“In all things of nature, there is something of the marvelous.” Aristotle
Both November and December have been unseasonably warm! Warm sunny days alternating with rainy days. It is quiet, very quiet. Crows, the call of the pileated, and bald eagles maintaining a continuous chatter are about the only sounds. Even the big lake has been on the quiet side especially with the wind from the SW.
Rough grouse and mystical snow buntings entertain as they fly up from the roadside. The large number of chickadees and grey squirrels is unusual, and I assume the mild weather has something to do with their numbers. Both chickadees and squirrels peek through the windows of our house watching our household. Chickadees were still eating flies off our house the first week of December, but cooler nights have turned the chickadees to the feeders, plants and trees.
While I was delighting in the charming chickadees. These stories about chickadees came from one of my favorite bird authors: http://www.startribune.com/chickadees-go-to-charm-school/360852661/
