We got about 29-30 inches here (Jug Bay area; I measured a couple places out in our front pasture on Saturday eve).  Yesterday afternoon, a neighbor with a bucket loader on his tractor dug out a passable lane for us to get out to the road.  This prompted me to dig out the car - glad to see it again!  'Tho I doubt I'll actually be go anywhere, except maybe over to Upper Marlboro to help dig out my father-in-law.  Between Saturday and Sunday I spent 11 hours shoveling around here, and the birds have helped keep my sanity level healthy.

We had a couple nice surprises at the house this weekend, and best bird was easily a White-crowned Sparrow, which are very uncommon at our house (seen only once or twice/year, but not seen annually).  Friday was best for diversity, with 49 species; Saturday we had 40 species; and Sunday was 45.  Over the 3-day period, we had 54 species here, with the WCSP being the only new species for the year.

I just read the post about a Gyrfalcon!  Wow!  It has me thinking I may have to hustle and get my in-laws taken care of just in case I can't resist the temptation to wander up to Howard to have a look for it!
