The weather wasn’t too bad in the morning, and a lonesome male bluebird stopped by to check out the nesting box. I’d like to think he was scouting for a home for his mate and future family, but I won’t be holding my breath on that score.
However, as the day progressed, the weather worsened. In late afternoon I looked out the window to see snow falling and rapidly covering the ground with a coating of that white stuff, which looks magical in December, but by March…not so much! After the bluebird visitation this morning, there was very little bird activity. I took one last glance out the window as the light was fading, and saw only some snowbirds (juncos) and a couple of mourning doves, sheltering at the base of one of the feeders. When the dove posed next to the water bowl, I snapped her picture.
That was all the excitement for the day, and it was enough for me. I’m laying low for few days, recovering from a tumble off our back steps that resulted in an entire night in a massively crowded emergency room. And, no, I don’t know how it happened. They kept asking if I had passed out, lost consciousness, or felt dizzy, and all I could say was ,”No, no, and no,” whenever anyone asked.

Thanks, Roz. I am okay. Funny thing is my grandson and I walked on the snow and ice in Holden earlier on Monday without mishap. My fall happened in the evening as I was heading into my house. No ice or snow anywhere near me. It was strange.

It’s certainly been a bad weather winter! Stay warm and I’m sure your backyard bird feeders will be filled soon. Even here in Florida work up to temperatures in the mid-40’s! That’s cold for March!

Glad to provide some motivation, Ray. I haven’t been out much this winter, and I have missed it. It was wonderful to be back on the trails.
