If one followed a line from Sault St. Marie, Michigan southward to Lexington, KY you would see temperatures ranging from -11°F, down to -5°F on the bottom of this line. This would translate to -23.8° Celsius to -20.5° Celsius. These temperatures were listed on the weather channel map this morning at 7:45 EST. None of these numbers take into consideration wind chill factors. These numbers make my point of concern for birds and other wild life; and I hope not to sound like an echo day by day. However, for those of us within the violet shading on the map it has become a cold, snowy January to date. The map is shown along with some other data graphics. The last picture is now outdated with over 30" for Jan. 2014.
On the positive side I was rewarded today with some new visitors at the feeders: A House Finch, A Blue Jay & A beautiful Cardinal. My photography skills are a challenge at best with their rapid, continual movements. However, I kept the best of my efforts even though they are of marginal quality: I'm just happy to know they are alive and well! Here are the Cardinal & Blue Jay.
And here are some of the House Finch photos: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/g...
