Today the weather was beautiful. It was partly cloudy yet windy. We didn’t expect to see much but thankful for what we did see. We traveled to Lake Yahola and to Bixby Sod Farms. Here is our list from today, numbered ones will be new to the list. Hopefully the weather doesn’t turn too bad this week. It’s been cold here and the birds empty the feeders within a few hours. We do enjoy a few hours of sunshine, here and there but we will strive to do more birding this week!
