Snowfall

Our first big snow came yesterday. Along with it, many boreal and black-capped chickadees visited our peanut butter stanchion and the seeds on the feeders. One of the trees near our backporch feeder blew over, uprooted, after Tuesday night's windstorm. We will have to build a little protective wall around the feeder because it is now more exposed to rain and snow.

In addition to our usual feeders that come in daily, Tom went out to add seed to a feeder and had a fly-by, near his scalp, of a sharp-shinned hawk. We decided that Tom's hair must have looked like a snowshoe hare.

Our friend Scott Moon photographed this lovely winter visitor. We never have them in our yard but love seeing them around town.
