Day 335 - 1st December 2014 - Pink skies, Feathery ice and Red-winged Black birds

Good Morning December! Oh wow that means we are now in the last month of the year, the month that holds Christmas and the month with the shortest day. It's a busy month. I'm off today for meetings. Have been going a little shack wacky so a change of pace may be a good thing, but I'd rather be birding. Wonder if anyone would notice Big B. under my arm? Nah best leave her home. Temperature feels pretty good today, not going to bother with a fire this morning, will build one when I get home.
Sunday was milder, Lexi and I got out for a number of walks. Weather looked good early but later in the  afternoon it became dark, grey and overcast. More time in the kitchen - roasted a chicken in the morning, did up potatoes, veggies, dressing. Then put all the leftovers in a pot along with some noodles and made soup for then next few nights. Rolled 6 1/2 dozen peanut butter balls, dipped 2 dozen in chocolate and froze the rest for dipping later. Did laundry and the other humdrum things.  Progress is being made but feels darn slow. Even managed an hour or two of research, although I wasn't really in the mood.
Hints of pink again in Sunday's sunrise.
 The Red-winged Blackbird returned yesterday morning. I'm thinking he's an immature male.
 I love the feathery look of the thin ice along the shore line.
 This would be a Golden-crowned Kinglet - cheeky little fellow!
 Ice along the edge, but a lovely reflection.
 The Chickadees and Goldfinches were around a good part of the day.
 Three RWBB returned around lunch time. Handsome!




Enjoy your day!
