The blizzard of 2016 is upon us here in Delaware County PA and not letting go. Strong winds keep the snow moving so any shoveling one does is rather fruitless. Reports on the radio tell of stories where people have ventured out in their cars only to get stuck in snow drifts that have formed across the road.
Yesterday I stocked the bird feeder and sure enough the birds have been visiting the feeder most of the day. This type of weather pulls birds together in my observations. They have more tolerance for each other. The juncos are more visible and a female cardinal has joined the crowd. A song sparrow digs in the snow with its feet to get at buried seeds. A few squirrels ventured out earlier in the day, but that was it for their forays in the snow.
The wind keeps howling and the snow keeps blowing. Mother Nature has given us a big storm, bringing everything to a near halt here in the Philadelphia area. Be safe everyone.
