Day 11 - 11th January 2018 -Starling, Redwing Blackbirds and Goldfinch

It's mild out this morning, hopefully the ice will melt that's underfoot. Mostly an issue on gravel/dirt roads, our back deck etc. Another good day at the museum, I enjoy this kind of work- going through old documents, photographs etc. cataloguing, getting everything put in place and ensuring it's preserved for future generations. Sometimes I get lost in it, wondering about the people who created the work, or it triggers a memory of some of my own research. That's the joy of working with local material and artifacts - I know the families or in many cases have researched them over the years. So all this talk of preserving I need to get my own family collection in some kind of order for the next generations. Winter project at home when I finish work.  Still no confirmation on what weather system is coming this weekend -certainly rain but other than that who knows yet!

Starling can be rather pretty when the sunlight hits their feathers.
