Today was frozen rain, which hurts, rather, when it hits one in the eye, that later changed not to regular old rain as predicted but rather to more snow. It's unclear what tomorrow may hold. We went for a walk to TMB to pick up pages of the book that is currently the bane of my existence. It wasn't the nicest weather but we did get to see the kinglets, thrushers, waterbirds, and brown creeper that would otherwise not be on the list. The brown creeper's back was practically a shiny tortoiseshell; it was quite lovely.
Given the conditions, and the likelihood of falling in transit, there are no photos of the birds though I did take some snaps of various encased-in-ice flora in the backyard. The Imaginary Reader will have to be patient, however, as the photos have not yet been transferred to Myrna.
