By mid-day yesterday, the deep snow was oddly just starting to look like the "normal" landscape.  The yard (... or former yard) is now a labyrinthian construct of carved out channels for human and canine movement.  BUT, I like winter and I really like snow - that said, I'm good on the snow part!!  No mas.

Our Creswell (Bel Air) yard list over two days  (Wed and Thurs) with high numbers:

Sparrows (or those ending in sparrow): 

White-throated Sparrow  (80 - 120, difficult to survey at once with all the feeder "snow pits")
Song Sparrow (25+, and I usually have 1 or 2 at any given time throughout the year, now I have a lot)
SWAMP SPARROW  (2)
FIELD SPARROW  (1)
AMERICAN TREE SPARROW  (1)
House Sparrow  (1)

Others:

WINTER WREN  (1, foraging in a shed)
Eastern Towhee  (6, males, do females leave?)
Northern Cardinal  (45 - 55)
Blue Jay  (15)
Cooper's Hawk  (2, M/F)
Red-tailed Hawk  (1)
Common Grackle  (many, a notable "Bronzed", but I'm no expert on grackles - or anything else for that matter :)
Red-wings, cowbirds and starlings a plenty.
Tufted Titmouse and American Goldfinch (many)
Carolina Chickadee (very few, maybe 2)
Rusty Blackbird (0, none since Mon.)
and the rest of the usual suspects (plenty)

The good news is spring can't avoid getting closer through all this :)
