Hi Jo-Anne! :)

Sounds like you had a good morning despite the rainy weather.
We had a Grackle in the yard yesterday, Rob got very excited.    :?

 Hi Angie.  Supposedly it was +6c out but felt quite chilly with the wind.  Always an adventure trying to juggle an umbrella, binoculars, bag of shelled peanuts for the squirrels, etc.  :D  Things get really interesting if you're also trying to open up a field guide to look up a bird - sometimes the bird book ends up in a puddle or mud.  :shock:
