Well, except for a light skiff of snow which melted rapidly, the winter storms tracked north & south of us. Leaving us with only scattered clouds, rapidly moving east, & mainly sunshine with blue skies. Swans appear to be taking advantage of the blue skies this AM.
For the past hour, have counted well over a thousand Tundra Swans in 100+ large, V-shaped groups flying south & calling high overhead. And, about 75 Trumpeters in groups of 10-15 birds, which stay local, heading to their feeding grounds. In the yard, RB Nuthatches, BC Chickadees, DE Juncos & House Finches are hitting the sunflower seeds. All the while, 2 least chipmunks are busy gathering scattered seeds beneath the platform feeder.
