Aerie Report, December 30, 2009

A quiet and slightly warmer day here at the Aerie. After a cloudy morning temperature of around 15 degrees the sun came out and warmed things up to the mid 20s. Dead calm gave way to steady southwest winds.

This "warming" will bring some snow, however. In the next four days we'll see about four inches of the white stuff. That's still better than what they're expecting up in New Hampshire and Maine. From the Presidential Range up through the St. Lawrence Valley will see a foot or more from a rapidly moving and strengthening system off the north Atlantic coast.

Terry and I have no plans to go anywhere until Sunday morning.

Speaking of Sunday, Terry will be going to Mass as she always does. I got a call from my birding buddy, Gary, who, in turn, had an email from some folks down in Williamsport. The Lycoming Audubon Society will be doing their Christmas Bird Count on Sunday and they're looking for help. There are some areas in southern Tioga County that are within their circle and they're shorthanded. So it looks like I'll be going birding in some new territory near Trout Run and Morris. I hope that Gary gets some scouting reports before we go.
