- Comments: "2 individuals seen behind the boathouse just before BBC beginner's walk. Moving with a mixed flock of robins and starlings.  Compact, short-tailed blackbirds with brownish splotches visible even with backlighting."



"It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air is full of it."
