The Weather Outside Is Frightful...

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!
