More like a winter wasteland.
This first pic should give you a feel for the amount of snow that's fallen around here. This was way in the back of the Sarett pines, no snowplowed or blown snow involved here:
It can be pretty somewhat, here's my riverbottom at about -5 degrees yesterday morning:
I've had more finches at the expanded feeder set-up than the 2.5 years leading up to this year combined. Yesterday I had 5 siskins (one of them below) and today 7 redpolls.
So much snow has fallen that I think the rodents are safe under the snow. I drove around the Scottdale plains yesterday on a nice sunny day, which generally are pretty reliable most winters for rough-legged hawks, as well as occasional dark morph redtails, harriers, and short-eared owls, but for the 2nd straight time found exactly 0 raptors.
