1-23-21 VERMONT: We’ve been here for a few days on a long weekend getaway. For the first two days, snow flurries were almost continuous, but there was only a couple inches accumulation. Today the sun has lit things up, but it’s in the single digits and windy. The dogs like it outside, Maizie like to sleep in the snow. We have stayed in except for a few errands.
I filled the bird feeders when we arrived, and the chickadees showed up in a swarm almost before I hung them back up. Nuthatches were later arrivals.
We’ll try to avoid the next, upcoming storm by traveling before it or after it on our way back to NJ.
Snow was in the air when we arrived and most of the next day.
Today we have sun, wind and single-digit temps.
I filled the feeders when we arrived, and a swarm of chickadees appeared almost immediately. There's one on the feeder and one in the tree behind the first one.
White-breasted Nuthatches showed up after the chickadees. The two resemble each other.
The nuthatch, on the left, is bluer rather than grey, they have longer beaks, and the black cap of the chckades covers the eye.
