365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

Warming Up
Day 75: Perhaps I shouldn't have sung quite so many choruses of my snow song. Maybe I shouldn't have put "Let it snow!" in the mini-marquee in the hopes that it would induce a white Christmas. "Be careful what you wish for," they say. My neighbours have given up shovelling, and I've only swept paths to the various bird feeders. Sometimes, there's just no way to keep ahead in the game. Another big dump of snow is possible on Thursday, but temperatures should be rising to give us nights in the mid-teens. On the up side, I predict a drop in daily covid numbers. Ma Nature is doing what government can't: keeping the covey-spreaders home, at least here in the Pacific Northwest.
