Winter

Well it took a while to get here, but it appears it is now winter.

more snow last night and temperatures staying down below the freezing mark, not to mention the fairly strong outflow winds…

it was down right bitter out there today.  A few ducks, 1 Bald Eagle and some Kinglets in the bushes….that was it…   If my yard is any indication all the others are up in the residential areas clustered around bird feeders…

These pictures are taken through a not very clean, double pane window…there are Varied Thrush every where you look…

almost as many Spotted Towhee…..

Steller’s Jay….Song Sparrows, masses of Red-wing Blackbirds, Starlings, Junco and even an elusive Fox Sparrow… pretty much rounds out the species seen.
