Winter has arrived in the mountains, we've had snow off and on since November 3rd and now the nighttime temperatures are in the teens! The Arctic cold that is heading south today has brought us the most wonderful variety of birds. They stopped, frantically searching for seeds or whatever they could find and headed off to warmer climes. At one point we had a small flock of bluebirds, later a larger bird with a yellow-white breast that I haven't yet identified and then the robins, many, many robins.
