Much of the snow that fell yesterday has melted, but it was an icy, cold morning in the Bear Creek Greenbelt with temps in the mid 20s.

Later in the morning, a young Cooper’s Hawk made an appearance in my backyard.  It attracted the notice of three Black-billed Magpies, one of whom escorted it from the area.
