Snow Birds

Not the RV'ers that move south in the winter, but the birds that you see out your window when stuck inside! If you saw our blog yesterday you know that we had a good bit of snow here. Total ended up being about 4" of the white stuff.

Most of our day was spent inside watching movies and taking pictures of the birds outside the RV. All of these pictures were taken through windows so they're not as sharp as I'd like.

Best bird of the day was a Virginia's Warbler. I have never gotten a picture of one before, so that was a treat.

More colorful were the many Mountain Bluebirds here at the park.

We threw out some bird seed, and managed to attract a few sparrows and finches before the park chickens showed up to eat the rest.

The House Finches here are nice and bright.

I wish that this Green-tailed Towhee had come closer, but I only saw it once at a distance.

The robins and kinglets were more cooperative.

The snow is already melting and tomorrow's forecast calls for warmer weather, so this looks like our only day of snow here in New Mexico.
