The frozen Assabet River covered with snow with only a bit of open water showing, as seen from the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail bridge. Animal tracks in the snow are visible and the view is framed by bare trees.

I saw one the other day hanging out on the patio with a couple of mourning doves. And I heard a white-throated sparrow singing while walking the local rail trail.
