Yet Another Blizzard
On Wednesday we had our third major Blizzard of the winter. We were forecast for rain and a couple of inches of snow but we ended up with 15" of heavy wet snow. I hoped that I could get some good photos but when I woke up the windows were covered with snow and ice.

I had already removed some of the bird feeders because the birds were not feeding with the warm weather we had the previous week. The birds were frantic at the feeders so I went out and put up another feeder and also scraped the ice off of my basement window.

I took this shot of a Dark-eyed Junco from my basement window.

Comments welcome

The angle is great. The branches, in the background, almost have a plumage look to them.
He looks cold.

Like the bird pics however I wish you would quit getting snow. We don't need the water down here. Hopefully you will get Spring and some flowers.

Neat shot Phil! I like the flakes of snow on his feathers..
Ditto Kendall's comment!
