Since the arctic cold front blew in Sunday night, we have had two nights below freezing and it will be close to freezing again tonight. This was the first freeze of the year and the coldest nights since December of last year.

The daytime temperatures are beginning to moderate. It was about 60º F when I walked along the river this afternoon. The sun was bright under a clear blue sky, without a single cloud all day.

It is worth noting that this is the first post on While on a Walk that includes a Black-crowned Night Heron. Also, it was nice to see an American Kestrel back along the river.
