I was out rowing in this beautiful weather on Saturday. I was coming past Pine Creek down river from the dam when I saw two hunters in camafloge suits on the spit of land that juts out from the where the creek meets the river. They had decoys floating there. I didn't know you could hunt right on the river that near the city. Anybody know about that? Diane The ducks better watch out on the Allegheny river!

We still have fruit and berries on many shrubs and on a warm day like today the bugs and grubs are active. We've had as many as 100,000 here in early January. The robins will stay here until the first snow cover, then they'll move south.

This morning I finally saw them and am surprised they are still around, even tho there seems to be only a few. Shouldn't they be gone by now, or is the nice weather keeping them around?
