Winter Storm Warning!



I don't know how we can have a winter storm warming according to Environment Canada when it is Spring. It should be a Spring Snowstorm Warning. Anyway there are no new birds the last few days. A couple of days ago I saw a flock of snow buntings (photo) when driving to the next town to shop. We started out yesterday to drive to Inglis about an hour from here but it was snowing hard. The road was covered with snow and it was difficult to see especially when a vehicle passed. I made it only a few kilometers and then turned around and crawled back home.
Today snow is melting a bit but there is a storm warning for tomorrow. The huge snow cap on my feeder is already melted and there are a few chickadees about and also some red-breasted nuthatches but that is all. While shoveling the snow I heard crows cawing but they were not in sight.
