Snow Brings in a Flock

 Can you see all those tracks in the snow on top of the hay bales?  We can a ton of birds here - both yellow headed blackbirds and red winged blackbirds.

 The snow lasted for about an hour and a half.  I watched Ambassador Baptist College's chapel (which is on at 9 am eastern time, but here's it's 7 am).  By the time it was over, our snow had pretty much all melted.  We had an even bigger flock of birds by then.

 They don't spook easily, but my five year old is an expert at scaring them away.  They would fly off for a bit, then come back.  The sunflower seeds were just too tempting.  I filled the feeder yesterday and it's almost empty now (and it's only 9 am).

 Each time the birds flew off, I just went back to watching gophers :)
