This week started with a spring-feel but ended with an icestorm. The backyard looked beautiful this morning, the lawn covered in frosted dew, and frozen, molty-looking layers over every branch. But there were hints of spring. #Grackles, #RedwingedBlackbirds and a #Cowbird came. All good stuff for the #greatbackyardbirdcount #birds #birding #birdsofMastodon #Ostdrossel
