Bristol Bird Club takes on snowfall for the ages to bird Burkes Garden Let it snow, let snow, let it snow !! Those attending the BBC 20th Annual Golden Eagle Winter Field Trip to Burkes Garden actually felt their jaws drop when they saw the deep snow cover in the beautiful mountain valley. The wind had blown vast fields until they looked like sand drifting in the desert. It was like a moonscape. It was gorgeous beyond our imagination. It was birding in a world of winter like no other. Nature came to our boot tops with stunning reality. Tough mountain people, blessed by God survive it all. Towering walls of snow to drive between....to bird over and around.
