1st Snowstorm of 2019 - 19 Jan 2019

Southeast Michigan experienced its first snowfall today. It took until January 19th for the snow to accumulate on the ground. We got 4-8" of snow during the day. The birds were quite active at the feeders. Included among the visitors were almost 200 American Robins that swarmed through the complex the past few days.  We also had 3 Red-winged Blackbirds, and even a pair of Brown-headed Cowbirds.
