Temps dropped a bit here, expected to have single digits as a high for the next week. Then a few days in the teens until a predicted week in the 20s occurs. That is, if you can believe the weatherman.

The snow is crusting hard, hard enough more pheasants are showing up at the feeder. Today had 6 roosters and a pair of hens in the yard. Hopefully, the hens make it through till spring though that is quite a while away. Also had a coyote cruise the front yard looking for a meal. I doubt the pheasants roost nearby but there are at least 8 rabbits I wouldn't mind see disappear.
