Seward, Alaska
Sunrise 9:05 am, sunset 3:57 pm, for a total day length of 5 hours and 49 minutes. Tomorrow will be 1 minute and 15 seconds longer.
After two days of clouds, sea smoke, and heavy snow, Venus reappeared in the morning sky, heralding bright sunshine all the short day. Daytime temperatures hovered around 15 with strong NNW winds 15-25 mph creating ground blizzards. Wind chill minus 1.
VARIED THRUSHES forgot to migrate this fall. Three at the hospital heated sidewalk, three at my feeder, more at Ava’s, several at Two Lakes Park, three at Lowell Point Beach making an honest living at the wrack line; some are even trying to sing in this bitter cold. Very inspiring!
Also inspiring, the octogenarian bicyclist blowing down Lowell Point Road then riding back to town in the teeth of the wind, and the black Lab who found it a fine day for a swim in the bay and a roll in the snow.
Happy Birrr
