Catbird weathers snow storm
We had about six inches of snow altogether yesterday and last night. After cleaning off the cars this morning I took a walk trudge behind the Staunton-Augusta Rescue Squad. Sure enough, I soon heard that hardy Gray catbird that has been lingering here since November. This time I had my camera ready to get a quick photo when it popped into view. I also saw:
- 8+ Bluebirds (M, F)
- Hairy woodpecker (F)
- Downy woodpecker (F)
- Red-bellied woodpecker (F)
- Purple finches (M, F)
- House finches (M, F)
- Goldfinches
- Juncos (finally!)
- Cardinals, Chickadees, Titmice, etc.
