We had our first significant snowfall of the season today. This is what we woke up to this morning.
Hubby Jim was out with the snowblower early in the day... it was almost a losing battle as the snow was falling as quickly as he could clear it out.
I was surprised to see so many birds at the feeder during the storm. Here's a Stellar Jay peeking at me through the living room window.
I'm not positive but I think this chubby guy is a White Crowned Sparrow. He's not exactly undernourished is he?
Even the squirrels were out in force. I leave plenty of nuts out for the squirrels... we have a sign next to our front door that says "Welcome To The Nuthouse!"
This little finch was trying to stay dry underneath the tree branches...
Mr. Sparrow was happy to pose for me. I love the markings on his head. We have more snow in the forecast tomorrow which means
more shoveling! Aaargh!

You have got an amazing gallery of bird and forest creature photos. Great going! They're just gorgeous! You sure are getting a lot of snow, too. I'll be getting to see some again in a month. I'm looking forward to that.
What great shots! Your snow is so pretty! (ALMOST) makes me wish for some-almost:)
We could have a sign that says welcome to the nut house-but for a different reason:)
i checked the weather yesterday but it only said rain! but no surprise with the snow.. it's been cold here and we got tons of rain yesterday. i couldn't let the bos in the patio room because it leaks out there, but they are there right now. I need to run out quick to do errands before it starts to rain again!
What amazing photos of your snowy weather ... with the squirrel and birds 'posing' for you so delightfully. I've only been in snow like that once (for about 2 weeks). I'm enjoying your pictures and am content to be in Southern California in the rain we've been waiting for ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
