It's February 2nd, 2012. Winter has reached the halfway mark. Here in Southern Ontario, just north of Toronto, a traditional snowy and blustery winter has been almost non-existent. Snowfall, or the lack thereof, and high temperatures are the talk of the town. Records are being set. I have pictured hundreds of crows and starlings, in earlier blogs this winter. These birds seem to have chosen to stay around and tough it out. But it hasn't been that tough so far, and there are only 46 days to go before we reach spring. God forbid I should sound like I'm complaining! Plus, two of those three famous groundhogs did not not see their shadows today, so we will not be having six more weeks of winter, as legend predicts. For the record, Canada's gophers, Wiarton Willie and Shubenacadie Sam did not see their shadows, while the Yankee groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, did see his shadow. Maybe that means winter will be shorter here in Ontario and down in Nova Scotia, but 2 weeks longer in Pennsylvania.
