they can get to eat here for the
ground is everywhere snow-covered to the
depth of 2 feet or more & there are no
berries. They do not act as if they were
hungry but they have visited the [?]
of our house drain leaving tracks in the
snow about it. There are still plenty
of frozen apples on the trees but I do
not think the crows have troubled them.
In late P.M. the Doctor & I went
to the Shack & had a fire there.
  A single gray Grosbeak about the
back door on the ground this P.M.
