One pretty male Purple Finch showed up our yard along with 60-70 of the
usual suspects. The juncos were eating so much I could see their distended
crops. I hope everyone is safe and snug as the snow continues to fall.

One White-throated Sparrow decided to take a bath in the bird bath. This
seemed inappropriate today, to say the least. I sure hope it didn't freeze
to death this afternoon.
