Hello All,
Well today we birded our own yard for a change, as there was heavy/dense falling snow in the A.M. and two hours of sun in early P.M. then the blizzard hit. 25+ MPH winds and horizontal snow. So we sat in the hot tub and watched the birds come into the feeders. Species observed with 8 inches of fresh snow and more pilling up.
