April to January

We're going back in months, this past weekend the Midwest was hit hard with a major snowstorm. Buddy's backyard got about 14.7 inches of snow, Green Bay, Wi got over 24 inches of snow and between here and there, cities have had between 12-20 inches of snow.

We're supposed to be getting warm weather and having nearly all of our snow melted by now, however the forecast for this week brings more snow.

How's our backyard you ask? The Grackles and juncos are all over the place, our cardinals were out hitting every feeders along with our goldfinches. It was a mad house, we pretty much had to refill each feeder twice a day.

Here's a nice picture of a Junco who is eating seeds from the ground. They are a lot harder to capture pictures because of their white underbelly.

Any ideas on what this bird is??? It had a very unique pattern, unlike anything I've seen but turns out it's a Buddy's Backyard resident. It's a fox sparrow but has a sooty pattern. It's not all the way rustic brown like it usually is but have a slate grey color.

A Grackle meeting? Or do we have a female in the area?

We are only seeing two starlings so far, but I do hope to see more.

Cardinals tend to be very photogenic don't you think?

One of our deer covered in snow, this was the start of our 10 addition inches of snow.
