Today is cloudy and chilly.  Last night it was supposed to snow a lot.  We got a little rain and a little snow.  Most of the snow has melted off by now, and what's left is slush.  I saw a few desultory flakes drifting down earlier today, but nothing more than that.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a flock of sparrows in the forest garden, a starling and a female downy woodpecker on the suet cage.
