The Silver eye is beautiful. If you only see one new bird, at least it is really pretty.
The heat is hard on the birds. They must have a hard time finding water.
We went down to -19 with a -30 wind chill(wind chill is the equivalent of actually temperature because the wind has a cooling effect).
I saw one bird...not one kind of bird, one actual bird. I saw one lone duck on the river. It might have been a Mallard, but it looked a bit dark for a Mallard. It was hard to tell because it was going along in the current and I didn't see it for long. The birds find this extreme cold very difficult. If it weren't for backyard feeders many would starve. It is too cold to look for food.
