Snow and sun

The snow won't last, I'm sure, but at dawn it was beautiful. Not very much snow - the feeder roof shows about how much fell. The wind cleared it off leaves and twigs. The birds are hungry. Cardinals, chickadees, finches, juncos, and a sparrow visited the feeder while a robin tried to get a drink from the birdbath. Cloud puffs are blowing off to the NE.

When we got home, the sky was blue but there was still some snow. A flock of egrets were sunning in the yard above the dam across the creek. A few geese were with them. A pelican flew past. Chickadees, finches, and juncos were still busy at the feeder.

Well, the snow did outlast the sun. A cold wind blew hard all day and much of the snow is now part ice.
