On shore. I have a lot of ice on my walks and in my yard. I'm trying to figure out how to transfer some of it to a glass or two.

I just finished the grid. I think I am glimpsing the shore, but one of my letters is a bit off. I will ponder a bit more.

Most likely a center fielder.

If the bird was my avatar, I would assume it survives mainly by attacking rabbit holes for food.
