Rain Turned to Flurries

Woke up earlier to rain. Then two hours later the rain turned white. Now we have flurries. Just a dusting for now. Not much accumulation due to the wet ground. I gave the last of the peanuts to the birds in the flurries. A very icy and slippery deck but I took my time. No more peanuts after this feeding. Spring will be here soon. The birds will be on their own. Time to focus on my bluebirds when the weather improves. Snapped this photo from behind the patio doors a few minutes ago.

Awesome shot. I hope the snow will melt before you are up and running tomorrow. What kind of bird is she?

That's a great photo. The birds will miss their peanuts.

You took good care of these birds by feeding them. They would definitely miss their peanuts.

What a cool photo - you captured the flurries - love the bird and his peanut! It was super cold for a while, but now it's starting to warm up.

I am thinking of a spot to set up feeders and maybe even a house or 2.

I have the bluebird house up in the garden. I will take this feeder down soon so they won't run off the bluebirds like last year. Sometimes I will move it to the front.

@caroldm We had a raging blizzard this morning down in Sligo. It went on for a half hour then gave up and it was sunshine all the way thereafter.

We never have blizzards. This month we have had snow twice already. Rare here.
