Lots of activity today at the feeders, which were recently set up, but also lots of frustration on the part of the visitors, who found the cupboard bare. Pax and I made a special trip out for sunflower seeds and a mix of fruits and nuts (no safflower or cracked corn which are cheap but which birds abhor). I expect to see quite a crowd tomorrow morning when I sit in the breakfast nook, with a cup of coffee, reading newspapers on the laptop, and looking out the windows.

Mostly sunny, breezy, and cold. Barometer high, but just beginning to drop.
