It was very odd to see the shorebirds in various snow squaws and to also hear leopard frogs and chorus frogs vocalizing while it was snowing with cold temps.!

I've had field,tree, and chipping sparrows in my yard at my feeders the past few days, and about a dozen pipits in the snow foraging in my driveway!
