Basically, any smart rodent has been deep underground or in a tree for the last week-- it's cold here. (While those of you in the upper midwest are not sympathetic, walking to work in two degree air is cold whether or not it is minus twenty in Green Bay.) Dumb rodents have long ago frozen or been eaten by the many local cats, so we have not seen rodents recently.
However, this morning it is sunny and quickly warming up to freezing. The local birds apparently consider this spring, or at least reason to fly, chirp and peck with gusto. Our 2 block walk to and from downtown this morning yielded two pilated woodpecker spottings, 2 presumed hairy woodpeckers, several cardinals, three mallards, lots of sparrows and assorted LBJs. Relatively, quite the plethora.
