Snow Junco

The snow we got yesterday was less than predicted and also less than many other parts of Virginia got. That’s okay with me because I didn't have to pay someone to clear my driveway and sidewalk. It was melted on both by 11 o'clock this morning.

Dark-eyed juncos often visit the feeders in winter. Sometimes called snowbirds, they are fairly small and rather round.



I took a picture of some trees at 8:30 in the morning. The temperature quickly rose above freezing, and much of the pretty snow melted away. We’re supposed to get a little more tonight.


I took another picture at 11:20 this morning. I aimed to get the mockingbird in it, and later when I brought the picture up on my screen, I saw the female cardinal on the right.


By the way, my birdfeeder camera stopped working again. It did not take any pictures this morning. I think the cold temperatures last night made it shut down somehow.
