Air temperature 25 F, wind north gusting to 20 mph, cloudy. Windchill 15 F, which stands as an improvement. We may warm up into the 40s F by the weekend, with possible rain. Foraging planned.

Afternoon stroll news

Ms. Sasha was waiting at the end of her walk when I turned up her side street, so I guess I am still on her friends list. No sign of Louie, who remains a minor worry. Found remains of a pigeon under the tree where a Coopers hawk was seen earlier, a few feathers and bones. We have plenty of pigeons and not enough raptors.

And I saw what looked like snowshoe hare tracks on the far side of the park, houses that back up on a fair-sized tract of undeveloped land. Have seen coyote and deer tracks over there, with reports of fisher and bear sightings.
