The logs were silvered and the packed leaf fall slick so I had to trek carefully. The creek was running high so waterproof footwear was essential out here, not rubber boots, but good leather winter hiking boots with lots of freeboard. The woods, as expected, were quiet but I did manage one Black-backed Woodpecker between the lakes and eight Gray Jays. The distant calling of a Red-breasted Nuthatch was reassuring. At home in Portuguese Cove two Fox Sparrows linger. They are running late now but they have over-wintered successfully at our place in the past.
