First Snow of the Season & Snow Birds

I am linking my Snow birds up with World Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes

Mr Cardinal is saying "Snow already, you got to be kidding!!

This past Saturday we received our first snowstorm. Snow in October in Maryland is somwhat rare, after the last two winters I could care less if I ever saw snow again. I would not miss it at all. We have had snow in October before but it was a long time ago. I love Spring, Summer and Fall but, I am not a winter person at all. Sorry for the rant, but I feel better now.

Above a Tufted Titmouse and a Carolina Chickadee are chowing down on my sunflower seeds.

It snowed all day long, I guess we are lucky compared to the New Englanders. They got dumped on. We did not even have our first frost yet, the flowers on the deck were still blooming.

These poor Mourning Doves look cold, all fluffed up looking chubby.

The snow did bring in my First of year Junco. I saw this female on my deck railing and the male was feeding on the ground.

Mr bluejay is saying " I am not going to look at this white stuff, maybe it will all go away. Bring out those peanuts lady. Snow makes me hungry".

 Looking at my deck I believe we had about 3 inches of the white stuff. The only thing I find good about snow is that I see a lot more birds in my yard. When it starts to snow the birds go into a feeding frenzy. I think this early snow threw them off too,  I am sure that is why my Cardinal is looking a little grumpy, I think my cardinal feels the same way as I do about snow. Bring on that Bermuda high!
