We can't get out because of the slush and ice, so we've been watching the birds at the feeder and in the surrounding trees. Today was very fruitful - a towhee without a tail, fox and song sparrows, a pair of flickers, purple finches, a horde of juncos flashing around, chickadees ditto, one red-breasted sapsucker and one nuthatch ditto, several varied thrushes, and two deer.
Maybe we'll be able to get out of the driveway tomorrow.
Merry Christmas, tweeters.
