-24C/-11F W 34C-/-29 7:30 at a.m. in Calgary today.
"Those in the vegetable rain retain
an area behind their sprouting eyes
held soft and rounded with the dream of snow
precious and reminiscent as those globes –
an area behind their sprouting eyes
held soft and rounded with the dream of snow
precious and reminiscent as those globes –
souvenir of some never nether land –
which hold their snowstorms circular, complete,
high in a tall and teakwood cabinet."

Despite the cold this flicker showed up Sunday morning for suet.
Flickers used to migrate further south in winter, but apparently the
introduction of suet feeders encourages them to over winter. My
friends in south Calgary have no luck with suet feeders as they are
stripped immediately by magpies. Fingers crossed.
