Another Nor'easter.

3-7-17 SHORT HILLS: We have another Nor’easter. This one has a lot of snow, so far, but little wind and temps just above freezing. The previous storm had high winds, but not so much snow. Either way, I’m ready for some Spring. This Sunday, BTW, starts Daylight Savings Time, and in two weeks we have the Equinox and the first day of Spring.

The goldfinches are back and showing a hint of gold among the grey feathers. On stormy days like this one, the squirrels, usually trying to monopolize the feeders, are nowhere to be seen. But the birds are here in droves. At one point this afternoon there were five male cardinals here, loads of grackles and RWB’s, goldfinches and red finches, chickadees, juncos, nuthatches, titmouse, woodpeckers, sparrows, doves, blue jays and I’m sure I forgot someone.


Goldfinches, just developing summer colors, mobbing the nyjer seed feeder. There are actually eight birds visible in this pic, two are partials only.

Here we are again, white wonderland.

I'm ready for green, take the white away.

He doesn't look pleased with the snow.
