The Daily Bucket is a regular feature of the Backyard Science group. It is a place to note of any observations you have made of the world around you. Insects, weather, meteorites, climate, birds and/or flowers. All are worthy additions to the bucket. Please let us know what is going on around you in a comment. Include, as close as is comfortable for you, where you are located. Each note is a record that we can refer to in the future as we try to understand the patterns that are quietly unwinding around us.

Well, there's no bucket up, so I'll post one. I have no real observations beyond my usual schtick, though I could report that the heater came on a lot last night. So, the standard entry into my little electronic notebook for today so far is:
ANHU, HOFI, LEGO, AMGO, MODO, WCSP,CALT. That last one is California Towhee, which, by normal rules, would be CATO, but so would Canyon Towhee, so they made them CALT and CANT. Lineatus, posted a whole diary over in Birds and Birdwatching about these codes, but I couldn't find it with a quickie search and this is way late, so that'll be content for another day.
