I'm here to report that I've acquired a growing flock of bluebirds over the last few days. Now up to 8 birds. Kinda cool to watch them raid the feeders which are in the shade, then fly up to the trees and all sit with their backs facing the sun to warm up.

No warming help from the lake. The lake is very low and the Lakeport dam is discharging (leaking) the minimum possible amount of water, so the entire channel has been frozen for a quite a while now. Even solid ice under the bridge, which I don't think has ever happened before.
