Birds and Snow

Mrs. Grosbeak is standing above a little snow/hail (mostly hail) that we got earlier today.  It melted quickly; afterwards, the ground didn't even look wet.  Very strange.  It's still cold and cloudy late this afternoon and there's a chill little wind ruffling the spring leaves.

The Grosbeaks have been back from their winter homes in Mexico and Baja California for about a week now.  It's always good to see old friends...although I think Mr. Grosbeak might be a little put out with the weather!
