More snow overnight, about three inches. Easier hiking (more snow underfoot), pleasant walk with dog. Had all but one bird species within the first few minutes, though—hardly anything up the high trails. And one last Song Sparrow toward the end.
Back home, all I saw were a few dozen pigeons all lined up on a wire.
