Hi Angela,

I'm sitting here at my study window seeing the wind driven snow when  
I "heard" your message come in. Seeing your topic I decided to  
respond. I'm watching  a flock of about 30 Redpolls jostling for a  
position at my feeders and chickadees are trying to find a moment to  
dash in for a seed.     I'm enjoying the view and the day, the birds  
seem happy too but i'm sure they are too focused on food and  
surviving in this rather wintry day to think about whether they are  
happy or not. I suppose, they just look that way to me.   I'll put it  
this way, from my study window nature seems to be unfolding as it  
should today and that makes me happy.

I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying your new location.  It's  
always a special joy to have the Pileated come to the backyard.  We  
have a pair that arrive every once and a while but I have not seen  
nor heard them  since early December.   On Thursday we had a nice  
looking Red Fox make a circuit through the yard, probably checking  
for hares or pheasants. Enjoy!
