Thursday morning dawned very chilly, but I got dressed and went for a walk. This thrush had beaten me up and was looking for breakfast on this cholla cactus.
The snow covered everything and lots of tracks in the arroyo showed signs of critters.
I considered sitting down and taking it all in but thought better of it.
I didn't bring boots but it was my hands that were freezing.
But let me end with this note of encouragement... there are huge numbers of robins around so I did some calculating. Since we are about 1400 miles from GF and figuring they fly north about 20 miles a day, that means they should be arriving there in about 70 days... around April 15 so take heart, spring is coming!
