I could keep track of how many birds are at feeder at different time of day, plus type of bird. I could track how many different animal prints I find in the snow over the course of the winter months. I can count how many times I spot a hawk, either red tailed or coopers, and where I saw them. Also a bald eagle!

It was only 29 degrees, overcast and breezy and I wasn't up for sitting outside. Instead I opened a window and sat and observed my backyard. I saw several different animal tracks in the snow on my patio - squirrel, bunny and raccoon. Further back are deer tracks. I watched cardinals and chickadees fly back and forth over the yard, from feeders to the shelter of the arborvitae and a cherry tree. I watched a cardinal try to cozy up next to two chicadees, but every time he sidled up next to them they flew to a different branch! I watched a squirrel burrow his face in the snow, possibly looking for a stored nut. Aside from some distant crows cawing and a "Hooting" bird in the distant trees across the field in my backyard, it was incredibly quiet. No traffic noise or sounds of industry. It was quite a blissful respite. Glad for the time to sit and observe! This will be a. new experience for me. I am often (pretty much daily) in the woods - but I am on the move hiking and always looking to pick up my pace. It'll be quite a different vibe to add in a sit spot on the trail! I am looking forward to this new adventure. -
