This morning couldn’t have been much more different than yesterday morning—foggy, drippy, a coat of fresh snow, no sun all day. However, the Snow Bunting was still up at the summit of Beech Hill

In fact, I was rather astounded to have a dozen birds on my list today—although I probably shouldn’t have been. It’s April after all.

Tomorrow will be windy and colder and brighter. Should be interesting.
