Behind the drugstore - Stanardsville, Virginia

It has been snowing all day. Snow is forecast through tomorrow (Saturday) with accumulations of around 24". After running a few errands in town this morning, I came home and got out the cantankerous old 80-320mm zoom and set up the tripod in the kitchen window to record the activities of the birds in the snow.

Mockingbirds have been coming to the feeder for the past couple of days, a sign of the harsh winter.



We also had an unusual visit from a beautiful yellow-shafted flicker this morning.



And  the cardinals, they live out their lives in this place, summer and winter, good weather and bad. I look out the window everyday and see them. They are part of us.
