Early Snowbird Gets the Berry

We got our first snowfall that stuck around yesterday. We didn’t have to shovel because it melted off our sidewalk and driveway shortly past noon.

On the other hand, the snow drew the birds out for the berries in the trees. Cedar Waxwings and other small birds feasted in the early morning. Whether they got the winterberries low to the ground or the ones high up in the trees—they got them.

It snowed the better part of the morning. It caught some Iowa drivers off guard. There were pictures in the news of cars rolled over on their roofs in the ditches.

But the birds made out like bandits.
