A nice day before temps fall off a cliff…

This morning in Estabrook Park was prettier than I had been led to expect. Temps and winds, however, were both in the low teens, so the windchill was right around 0°F, and there were not many critters out and about.

Sure, there were plenty of ducks on the river, including common goldeneye and merganser hens, but they can’t really pose in front of the nice blue sky, and we’ve seen them a lot lately. Instead, the one bird who had chosen a spot in which to hunker down that did make a nice picture was this American robin.

Finally, I see the forecast for tomorrow morning is down to -13°F, with winds at 15 mph, for a combined windchill of -36°F, but at least the sun should be out. If I can’t get any new pictures for you, however, I will be sure to dig up a couple from the archives. Don’t worry.
