I spent Thursday through Sunday in Westerly, R.I. playing with the Westerly Chorus in their 12th Night concerts. Bitterly cold on Thursday and Friday, snow, then heavy rain and warmer on Sat, and then really warm and sunny on Sun. Only in N.E.
Despite the weather, I got in some good birding, including my first Bald Eagle of the year. Here are the results.
