I think that bird has had enough coffee.

Less water surface.

There is no water nor any eggs in the incubator

That would be a problem.

Inconvenience only.. Swine are on an evening schedule as far as feeding. The breeders lounge around until twilight. Then they become active. I heat thing. They don't have sweat glands and over heat during our afternoons.
Our Goats are also on an evening schedule. The congregate in the front Paddock once the Sun starts to set. They use the Sun as a clock as far as the Herds combining in a single group. There are 3 groups. Nannys/older ones, wethers & outcasts. They graze in 3 separate groups with space in between them. They only tolerate each of them combined all together at two times of the day, feeding & sleeping (safety in numbers) Since they always feed in the dusk, their brains are trained to get along at a certain time.
Chickens.. what ever! time change doesn't mean a single thing to them.
I could trip and fall at any time of the day and they would feast upon my carcass
It will slowly but surely become dark earlier, the way Mother Nature intended it. W/O the help of politics and economics.

But it wouldn't do not to have the government's lifetime politicians in Washington mucking up everything they touch.

Things I should expect, but don’t.
1)A child staying dry during her nap, then peeing on the XXL dog bed.
2)Said child knowing she should have stayed still, but walking down the hallway, then running away from me because she didn’t want to get caught if she was awake too early.
3)The vast number of wet prints from her socks all over the house.
4) The annoyance I feel because I didn’t make her go to the bathroom right before nap time. This is my fault.

The weatherman says we’re expecting less than an inch of snow, but the sky looks like it’s holding about six inches.

It's snowing lightly here. I can see it because of daylight saving time.
