11 March/17

Still cold this morning, though not as windy or cold as the past couple of days. While in Parker, I heard a bird I haven't heard this winter. It made a kind of 'hew wit wit' whistle. I searched the trees for it, and just saw one fly away. Don't know what it was, but it was definitely not one of the 'usual suspects'. With the longer day lengths, birds may be migrating, but at -20 I can't believe many southern birds would last very long. Also heard a woodpecker (probably Downy), but no matter how hard I looked, could not see it. Chickadees, crows and nuthatches are more active now since the wind has died down.
