1-7-14 SHORT HILLS: It was 1° here this morning, yesterday morning it was nearly 60° in a warm rain. The air felt like spring. It was balmy and foggy, and the snow was melting. Eight inches of snow yesterday were reduced to a patchy frozen crust today. The roof was festooned with icicles hanging from frozen gutters, but is now clear of snow and ice.
Yesterday’s temperatures could have set both a record high and a record low in one twenty-four hour period.
The birds are back at the reloaded feeders.

Cardinal, male.

White breasted nuthatch, female.

White breasted nuthatch, male, has the dark head.
