A surprisingly mild January has led to a more typically chilly February. As a blizzard swept through the southeast corner of the state this afternoon, I zipped myself into some winter coveralls and headed for the park. I was hoping to grab some photos of some common year-round species (blue jays, downy woodpeckers, rock pigeons, and collared-doves) but wasn't really enjoying the mix of wind and glare and ended up turning around not far into the park and heading home.
Next time I think I'll choose an easier day to see the birds. In the meantime, I'll entertain myself with the birds and other visitors to the backyard feeders.
