The snow has brought in unusual backyard birds.

At about 11:00, we saw a Brewer's Blackbird on the deck at our Westerville
home.  It hung around for a few minutes, moving to several different nearby
perches in small trees.

At 12:10, a 1st winter Red-tailed Hawk landed on the feeder pole, performing
quite a balancing act to remain upright.  It must have decided that suburban
backyards were unlikely hunting grounds for voles, as departed within a
minute.  Needless to say, the more typical feeder birds made themselves
scarce for awhile.
