Well they warned us!

Sometimes snowfall warnings just sort of fizzle out and don’t amount to anything…not so this time.

Snowy February 27th

The snow arrived right on schedule and in the predicted amounts..

Snow

I actually got out for a walk a littler earlier than normal…which is a good thing because the temperature has now warmed up to 0 and we are getting a mix of rain and snow.  Right where we are looking there were a number of Dark Eyed Junco and Song Sparrows…

Dark Eyed Junco

Didn’t manage to capture the Song Sparrows, but here is a Dark Eyed Junco….

More Dark Eyed Junco

In fact Dark Eyed Junco were sort of the theme for the day as there were  quite a few of them over in the area of the log bay….

Junco's bathing

look very closely and you will see they are bathing!

The log bay

That pair of Belted Kingfisher were flying around and there were the usual assortment of ducks out in the water.

Red-wing calling

a number of Red-wing Blackbirds were spread about, undeterred by the winter weather, they were doing their territorial calling…

Back in the first bay,

Trio of Hoodies

there was this trio of Hooded Merganser…the male to the left with two females in the water.
