It hasn't been that bad, but we did have a brief snowfall last week. I was very excited to see a flock of robins a couple weeks ago, but my best friend (who is also a naturalist) informed me that the winter was so mild this year that they never left! I resent them anyway. Why did they choose the robin for our state bird when they all leave in the winter?! Wimps!

Incredible!!!! (guess she was >up visiting from the US). I had an impressive bird moment about 3 years ago. I was driving to work on a very busy freeway, when I saw a snowy owl sitting on the off-ramp! I thought I had dreamed it! Very cool. Kerry NP - The Byrds (just kidding!)
