Snow!

Well one thing I hadn’t figured on for the last day of the Backyard Bird Count – was snow!

Snow

but snow we have!

Snow

Yesterday, what with one thing and another, I didn’t get for a walk until late in the afternoon…not the most opportune time for seeing birds…I did manage to pick up 5 of the elusive species though…the Herring Gull, a Fox Sparrow, a Northern Harrier, a couple of Killdeer and a Pacific (Winter) Wren.

Snowy log bay

With today’s unexpected snowfall…the species seen were almost non-existent.

Snowy trail

Not a great ending to an eagerly anticipated event!
