What a beautiful morning. About 5 inches of snow covering everything.
With  fresh snow and school closed, we took a jaunt about Wakeman
early this morning to see what was feeding. On Green Road we spotted
a beautiful barred owl hunting near the road.  It apparently missed
what ever it dove at but perched in the pines for over 30 minutes
scouring the ground below.  Perhaps it has someone on a nest that
it's feeding since we've seen barred owls  often in this area.  We
circled the block and returned to find it still hunting. Great way to
start the day. At the feeders we had scads of goldfinches, cardinals,
juncos, titmice, chickadees and house finches. Also were delighted to
still have 5 red polls, carolina wren, white crowned sparrows and WB
& RD nuthatches. Woodpeckers joined in later led by downy, hairy and
red bellied . This day just keeps getting better
Happy birding
