Snow Day Feeder Birds - 18-19 Jan 2020

A big storm hit the Midwest on Saturday and dumped anywhere from 4-9" snow, sleet and/or rain. Here at Brownton Abbey we saw 4-5" snow, just enough to send the community into a tizzy over the shoveling they didn't have to do...

The snow also brought in the birds to the feeders. Dozens of Dark-eyed Juncos, American Goldfinches, House Finches, and even flocks of American Robins and Red-winged Blackbirds! I spent a little time digiscoping some of the birds from inside the house and through the back window.
