It’s been snowing for two days straight—so here’s a blog post after a long hiatus. Nothing rare or exotic—unless you count the snow, which has been largely absent for the past couple of winters, or if you’re from a part of the world where House Finches are rare.
The bird in question:
I photographed this fellow from an attic window, high above the bird feeder, although he seemed more interested in gnoshing on Yew buds. Down below or also in the trees: Juncos, Downy and Red-bellied Woodpeckers, a lone Goldfinch, a Carolina Wren, some White-throated Sparrows, and a White-breasted Nuthatch.
