Weather Again
As I read more about the Alberta Clipper, I found that since it doesn't go anywhere near a large body of water, like the ocean, it only drops two or three inches of snow and it looked like the farthest it goes is just to our area. This must not be the Clipper because we got about two feet of snow today. It came down thickly and steadily for most of the day. I'll have to dig out tomorrow. There didn't seem to be much point in trying to dig out while it was coming down so hard.
The little birds were active at the feeders all day today. Since I sprinkle bird seed on the porch steps, there are some birds that check out the porch, looking for food. The wind was blowing the snow over the porch and covering even that seed. I laid my snow shovel down on the porch and dropped a handful of seeds into it, for the birds. Later I peeked out and saw several little birds eating from the shovel. I tried to get a picture but they kept an eye on the window in the door and when I'd hold the camera up, they would fly away. I tried to get a picture from the living room window but the screen with so much snow blown against it kept me from getting a good shot. It's surprising that they watched the door so carefully but didn't pay any attention to the living room window which looks out onto the porch from another angle. Even if I didn't get a good picture, I got to watch them for a while and that was nice.
