This morning I decided to go birding despite the frigid weather.  I've 
noticed that birds don't seem to mind whether it's cold or warm as long as 
the sun is out.  In all, I added 7 new species to my list for January 2008 
but the highlights of the day included an Eastern Towhee, a Fox Sparrow, 
and a Cedar Waxwing.
