Snow in March

 

Today the promised snow arrived and, although we had much less than New York and Boston, it was enough to give everything a very wintry feel!

 

We put out extra food for the birds and then watched to see who came along - quite a variety of birds!

 

Some of them like this Dark Eyed Junco looked very cold when the snow was falling.

 

The Cardinals are always colourful but these Goldfinches are in the process of growing their Spring coloured feathers.

 

The Starlings turned out in force as usual, but were shooed away by the Pileated Woodpecker when he arrived..

 

Because we have had such a mild winter and an early Spring, this snow seems very unseasonal but today I looked back at photos that I took in early March last year..

 

And the year before...

 

This afternoon, David was able to fulfill his promise to Lauren to make a snow cat..
