Last night's nor'easter did not bring us ice and snow but there was plenty of wind and rain. In its wake this morning, there was a dramatic sky with scudding (I think that's the approved adjective) clouds and a good-sized flight of Turdus migratorius, the American Robin. The wind continued all day with temperatures in the 40s (but feeling much colder) The only major feeding flock that I caught up with was led by a pack of Titmice but included Downy and Red-bellied Woodpeckers and a firecrest. Well, not really a Firecrest (that's a European kinglet) but a Golden-crowned male at eye level showing off his fiery orange/gold crest to excellent advantage.
