American Robin.
Five or six inches of white, wet snow fell overnight. When first I looked out back I saw a male cardinal, a flock of robins, and a downy woodpecker foraging for breakfast.
Northern Cardinal.
Not long after, at Beech Hill, I saw a Red-tailed Hawk (same bird as yesterday?) and little flock of buntings in flight.
