A White Blanket of Snow

Winter has returned to the Finger Lakes area with a light covering of beautiful white snow.  The sky was blue today after the snow.  We got about an inch yesterday and the town is draped in a blanket of white. 


We have many animals here at Vintage Gardens.  Yesterday Mike saw several Mallard ducks at the back of our propert down in Millitary Brook.   I still hear Canadian Geese flying over head making their way south to warmer climates.  We keep the feeders full for the Squirrles and other birds that brave the stay.  Recently we have seen:

Red bellied Woodpeckers
Downey Woodpeckers
Northern Cardinals (there red bodies are beautiful against the snow!)
Dark-eyed Junco
Black -capped Chickadees
White breasted Nuthatch
Tufted Titmouse
American Crow
Wild Turkey
Deer

It is always exciting to see a new bird or animal on the property.  Yesterday we saw our first Nothern Flicker.
