We had a flock of approximately 100 Rusty Blackbirds stop momentarily in our 
yard this morning but they never came down from the trees to eat.  Mixed in 
were a few Red-winged Blackbirds.  We've never had flocks of these blackbirds 
before and they are beautiful.  
We had quite a bit of snow here on the hill but the birds seem to have coped 
very well.  Our Carolina Wrens have gotten their usual peanut butter energy 
fixes at the log by our picture window and the Eastern Bluebirds snuggled down 
in the box we have for them on the side of the garage.  Their early morning 
appearance to drink at our heated water source and then sitting in the trees to 
capture the heat of the sun sure help us begin the day with a smile.  In fact I 
thought I could hear one of them singing a little song this morning that 
sounded like: "I love snow, it makes me glow".  But I'm old so that may have 
just been the ringing in my ears.
