Hi All, Here in western Auglaize County, we have 15-25 winds out of the west! And the SNOW is blowing briskly almost a white-out condition BUT --- A BIG THANK YOU to SU for starting the Snowy Day Contest! Sounds like lots of fun! So far, my count is nothing special - or maybe it is IF I get to count the BUNNY! AGFs are very bountiful as are House Finches. MDs are perching on the window sill and H Sparrows and N Cardinals perch on our deck amongst the wood pile. Every one is searching for some secluded spot! Waiting for the Cooper's to appear! Get your notebook and pen (for tabulating) and your cup of hot beverage - or cold if that's what you want - and watch the snow blow and the birdies feathers rumple. Again, thanks Su, Jill Bowers Auglaize County ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
