Hello again. Walked out to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center from home. A nice 2.3 mile walk, a bit with some narrow shoulders in part of NY 443. Not a terrible day but could be a bit warmer.

With the mornings sun, the birds are chirping and flying around. However, it is starting to cloud up and I would say it’s mostly cloudy and around 29 degrees with a 9 mph nnorth-northwest wind. Not too bad when you’re walking.

There is a thin skim of ice on the ponds up here, but it’s rapidly disappearing, especially with the warm and mild temperatures expected over the next few days. Tons of birds and wildlife are out, and I saw a squirrels running up and down the trees.
