What a cold morning for a nature walk! Today I met up with Miles Hearn and our weekly nature walk group just down the street at Colonel Sam Smith Park. I bundled up well, with long johns, thermal socks, my old postal dock liner, a warm parka, warm hat, scarf, hood, boots and hand warmers.

There is a feeder in the park which attracts many birds on days like today, including cardinals, house finches, house sparrows, chickadees and more.
