All downhill from here. Next weekend starts February. Days are starting to get noticeably longer; sun warms the inside of your car. Hopeful little signs that spring is only a few months away. This morning’s hike took me out to Graves Landing. I sat for a little while looking for coyotes on the ice or maybe an eagle soaring by. Reservoir looked cold and barren. Breeze became consistent after 8:30. No mammals seen. However I did see coyote, fox, and deer tracks. Dana Center had a couple of dozen wintering robins who were very active. Blue jay, chickadees and juncos were busy this morning. Jim
