It was in the high 40s when I left the house (Wishing I had bought those gloves) and it got warmer rapidly as I arrived at Possum Point. I have high hopes for Possum Point in a few weeks, but it was pretty dead this morning. I left for The Nature Center after 45 minutes or so, and quickly ran into several flocks of small birds migrating through our area. An ideal situation on a near perfect day. It&#8217;s nice to be me sometimes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3245\" style=\"width: 2274px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
