Juncos, a song sparrow, doves, red bellied woodpeckers, pine warblers, white throats, and titmice feasted on the feeders and on the snow.
Giant icicles, twigs with snow caps, and snow drifts off the roof were impressive reminders of the storm. Blue sky and sunshine didn't faze the snow and ice.
In the afternoon two great blue herons and five great egrets sunned on the bank across the creek. Gulls flew over the thoroughly frozen creek, I don't know why.
About a week later I learned why the tides were so low during the storm. There was a low pressure center outside the mouth f the Chesapeake Bay sucking the water out. Plus the wind was from the Northwest pushing the water out, unlike a "Northeaster.
