So it's Saturday 7 January. I'm sitting in my living room. The fire is burning. Outside it's silently snowing and it's time to reflect on the first week of Nakuspian life.
It's been good. People and school kids friendly. I'm mostly understood - which, I guess, is good.
And the birding has been interesting. The highlights;

| Not that you can see it however the 'star' at the top of the tree is a Northern Hawk Owl! |
Northern Hawk Owl - was scored on Wednesday afternoon in the brief time between school's out and sun down. The bird was first seen, on his regular haunt, close to town on a power line. He allowed some close views but at the appearance of my tiny camera flew away to the top of a large fir tree like a Xmas tree star!
