January wraps with a catch total of 4.20” – pretty much bang-on to PRISM average (4.22”). Ground is snowcovered, a bit less pack each day due to compression and sublimation. Pond has been completely frozen over since 1/26 snowfall so no waterfowl are visible. Terrestrial birds and squirrels are active at the feeders; haven’t seen much other wildlife other than plenty of tracks. ON EDIT, 8:21 AM: Two large, healthy coyotes making their way along the ice on the pond.
