We finally got a semi-decent snowstorm! Not two or three feet like the storms before 2006, but better than the light dustings we've been getting for the past several years.
A little ways up the mountain in Big Bear they got about a foot and a half, which made the local business owners and ski resorts really happy, too.
Well...maybe not the birds and animals. It's always hard for them. But I keep the feeders well stocked so, at least here at my little cottage, they don't go hungry. (That's a Northern Flicker in the photo above and a Steller's Jay in the photo below).
I apologize for the blurriness of some photos, it was still snowing pretty hard when I took those photos.
The snow started to melt a little this afternoon, but I think there will probably be plenty left for tomorrow and the weekend!
Hi Victoria,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post.. The blue jay reminds me all the wonderful summers we spent in Crestine. Jays everywhere. I can still smell the pine trees.
Enjoy the snow!
blessings,
Penny
oops! Forgot the L in Crestline.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you all on your magical mountain! I hope there are more lovely thick dustings to come before winter is over.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to more snowy beauty!

Dear Victoria - so glad you got some snow. I know how much you need the moisture. Your stellar jay is beautiful. Our blue jays our similar but we have more white on ours. Hope you have a great week.
