User's notes

There was a group of small birds moving among the trees but they were moving quickly, while staying on the far side of the tree from where I was. I waited until one came to the the leaves on my side of the tree. The bird appeared to be eating from the leaves and branches. I am unsure whether it was after lerp or possibly the melting frost to drink.
