[TN-Bird] Re: Spring has sprung in mountains !

I'm still wondering what the Blue-gray Gnatcatcher that arrived here a couple 
of days ago is thinking! Then, the bird was foraging, flitting about in 
budding willow branches. Today those branches are bent almost to the ground 
beneath a heavy weight of wet snow.

I have 8 inches of snow at my place in Hampton, TN.   Looks like the 
accumulation has ceased for now, but power has gone in and out.

And the snow did bring some new visitors: my first Chipping Sparrow of the 
spring visited the ground beneath the feeders and a small flock of American 
Goldfinch (about 6-7 birds) have visited all day.
