Did a bird or a bug visit the birdhouse?

I might try to use the sandboxed forum section as a place to put notes that I don't think will make it into one of the five blogs.

Shortly after putting the birdhouse up in the maple tree in my front yard, I noticed a temperature spiked on the Layer-N dashboard:

Zooming in on the temperature excursion:

When I first saw this, I wondered if I was seeing a bird taking refuge in the birdhouse on a cold night

. I find it interesting there is an omission of temperature readings between 0 and -1 degC...

Side note, saving graphs in layer-n cloud is very easy:

So is exporting csv data:

After looking at the data in detail it would appear there is a 6.5 degC offset for temperature readings between 0 degC and -1 degC.

Regardless an interesting observation.

Cool! It would be interesting to see the changes as the family grows.

A heartwarming development, a bird did indeed stop by the birdhouse :)

Which may explain the humidity spike I saw this morning:
