Despite the miserable weather, my 2019 bird list hit 11 species on the first day of the year. Our daily high temperature was 11 degrees F at 12:01 AM, fell to 1 degree by sunrise, and rose to 9 by noon. To have escaped icing over, the Superior Ave Pond in Northfield must be both deep and spring-fed. I only saw nine very chilly Mallards and a continuing female Ruddy Duck. Yesterday’s goldeneye and large Canada Goose flock were nowhere to be seen.
