Day 17.334: Winter; weather

Here are some pictures of birds and squirrels in during the snowy weather we've had over the last few days:

Eastern bluebird on the snow-covered rim of the bird bath

I was definitely spotted by this bluebird

Squirrel looking a little chilly despite finding a sheltered spot by a large tree trunk

Another squirrel perched on a snowy branch

European starling taking over the hopper feeder.

Dark-eyed junco on the shepherd's crook with snow flakes falling around it,

As of this evening, we are listening to the wind outside accompanying some heavy and relatively warm rain. I suspect there will be little evidence of the snow by the morning. Hopefully also, not too much evidence of the strong winds.
