Tweets,

The recent heavy snows in Moses Lake (nearly 15") have brought an influx of
birds not normally seen at my feeders as well.

This morning I have managed to see 47 Dark-eyed Juncos which I think is the
2nd highest count ever in my yard. Included in the mix were 2 Slate-colored
birds, 1 male and 1 female, and around 5 cistmontanus or Cassiar Juncos.

A single male Cassin's Finch was a 1st for the yard, while 2 female Purple
Finches doubles the number ever seen here.

White-crowned Sparrows, a single Song Sparrow, and a surprising latest ever
Lincoln's Sparrow rounded out the nice yard birds for the day. Still waiting
for redpolls, waxwings, or something else from the northlands.

Cheers
