DAY 5

It was very cold today. I visited the garden only for a brief time in the morning and found that the pond was entirely frozen solid. Because it was so dry there was not frost, only a freezing wind. When I went to check the feeders I found that almost all of them were empty and that a squirrel had chewed through the big seed feeder that I had been using for flight observation. Although I was very annoyed I couldn’t help but marvel at the cunning of the squirrels who had chewed through the thinnest part of the feeder where I had repaired it.
