At or under the birdfeeder — a Chipping Sparrow in the morning and a female Northern Cardinal in the afternoon. I cleaned out the bird bath, and the solar-powered fountain is now running. It is supposed to freeze tonight so we will see if it is running again tomorrow. A pink tulip flower. The deer nibbled on the plant, but it still survived. The deer at the back of the yard are looking through the electric fence trying to decide if the green plants inside the fence are edible wildflowers or weeds that they don’t like.
