There seem to be three individuals hanging about. Typical for a winter here is 4-5 (high is 7), and the group arrived a couple of weeks later than typical but they’re now here. Also, it’s not at all unusual for an individual or two to show up first and scope out the place before the others arrive, so this seems to now be a typical year shifted by a couple of weeks.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="ltr" class="">chuq</div><div dir="ltr" class=""><br clear="all" class=""><div class=""><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr" class=""><div style="color:rgb(39,39,40);font-family:-apple-system,sans-serif;font-size:14px" class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" class="">---------------------------------------<br class=""><br class="">Chuq Von Rospach (<a href="http://www.chuq.me/" target="_blank" class="">http://www.chuq.me</a>)</div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" class="">Silverdale, Washington</div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" class="">Birder, Nature and Wildlife Photographer<br class=""><br class="">Email me at: <a href="mailto:chuqvr@gmail.com" target="_blank" class="">chuqvr@gmail.com</a><br class="">Mastodon: @<a href="mailto:chuqvr@fosstodon.org" target="_blank" class="">chuqvr@fosstodon.org</a><br class=""><br class="">Stay Updated with what I'm doing: <a href="https://www.chuq.me/6fps/" target="_blank" class="">https://www.chuq.me/6fps/</a><br class="">My latest e-book: <a href="https://www.chuq.me/ebooks" target="_blank" class="">https://www.chuq.me/ebooks</a><br class=""><br class=""></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
