Birdfeeding
Feb. 7th, 2021 04:34 pmToday is partly cloudy and quite cold.
I fed the birds. Today I've seen a rabbit under the hopper feeder, a flock of sparrows in the forest garden around it, several doves and a lady cardinal in the birdgift tree near the fly-through feeder.
Last night it snowed a little. There are tracks everywhere, mostly rabbit, some mouse and bird tracks too. :D

The creative forces described below come from theoretical astronomy and quantum physics. Science dealing in the earliest known phases of the Universe is complicated because we only have one model -- the one we're standing in -- readily available for study and we can't replicate those early conditions for testing. So these are concepts that people have come up with to explain observations. See footnotes for scientific references.
