Another week of temperatures running high and low again with a trace of moisture.  The large amount of snow received earlier in the month is now almost gone leaving ice and crusty snow.  We had some of our lowest temps this past week, only to turn around and be in the low 30's.  Deer hunters took it in stride and managed to thin the herd a bit.  The birds are happy to be able to get at the tall grass seed once again after wandering around in the deep snow as tho they couldn't figure out what happened to their world.  Still not many song birds at the feeder and can't help but wonder if it is the bird flu effect.
