We had an unexpected snowfall this morning. Weatherman had called for a cold rain, with a chance of flurries around daybreak. Well, the weather didn't start until around 10:00 this morning, and soon big, white, fluffy flakes were coming down, and continued falling until about 3:00 this afternoon. So we have an inch of beautiful snow on the ground, and the bird activity was heavy. It's been a surprise winter day, but very enjoyable.

Just a common house finch, but the snow on his crown makes a pretty picture. |

First goldfinch of the year! |

Orange-crowned warbler on the bottom. A few minutes ago I got a rare sight - I saw the orange crown!! That is not common at all. It was just a slight orange line on its head.
Other than that pretty orange line, it is a very nondescript warbler. |

The obligatory cardinal photo in any winter picture collection. |
