No birding today as A big dump of snow appeared outside this morning with some drifting.
I spent a lot of the time moving it because we are expecting a delivery from "Dreams" tomorrow - at 7a.m.
Hope I get some Dreams tonight as well.
Late afternoon the weather thawed a bit to sleety rainy stuff so I though I'd wasted my time moving the snow - we'll see what tomorrow will bring,
