This is why I always keep my own eBird list; I can always delete it if the collective effort is shared. I made all the lists for the day, though he started the trip report because he is the leader for the section. This CBC is still pretty old fashioned so results have to be copied onto a paper sheet and brought to the compiler. The trip report was just so we could see what species we were missing throughout the course of the day so we knew where we should go and target.

I don't have much of a life, but watching you take those photos sounds more entertaining (than subjecting myself to those conditions). 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your phrase "I do miss a good milking once in a while" is open to intentional mis-interpretations.

If the little buggers want their photos at eye level, they can darn well fly up and perch somewhere convenient. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirVive Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I was wondering if @Charlie Spencer has been seeing any snow geese, snow buntings , snowy owls, snow men , or snow angels around lately? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hopeful that if it hasn't hit the freezing point around here by now, maybe it won't. It looks like the I-85 counties in the northwest corner of the state are getting glazed pretty well. I've never been able to figure out why people here buy snow shovels when the storm warnings are posted, or what they do with them in the three or four years between storms. "Dude, you don't have to clear the entire width of that two-car driveway. Do two paths where the tires will go; your garden shovel is enough for that." The rest of it will be gone by tomorrow, and the street at the end of your drive isn't plowed anyway... There probably won't be many checklists from the southeastern US today, though. I guess I'll see what doom and gloom the Weather Channel is serving up. Edited January 16, 2022 by Charlie Spencer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to check the wing though, that’s often a huge deciding factor on wether or not to go out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, 8 and now light enough to see the thin glaze of ice on the branches. The roads are still good and the birdbaths are open, so there’s enough warmth in the ground to keep low surfaces clear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know who to start with. 11:30a Eastern. Up to 34F and the thin coating of ice on the trees has started melting. Tiny tubes of ice slide off the end of pine needles and somehow survive impact with patio tables, deck planking, and other hard surfaces. No further mention of frozen precip. in the 10:00a NWS forecast update. Edited January 16, 2022 by Charlie Spencer 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get them here in the Columbia River Gorge on occasion but I've never seen destruction like the disaster that one caused to the hardwood forests. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
