Storm Birds

A foot of new snow, and now we have a flock 12 or more pine siskins! It is great to see a few more of our usual winter visitors. Yesterday two spruce grouse burst out of the snow-laden spruce branches while Tom put seeds on the feeder, they were close enough to him that their wings brushed the top of his cap. Magpies fly in and scatter the siskins. Chickadees and nuthatches keep us entertained. Beautiful snowy day.
