Snowy critters

When I get up in the morning, it is usually dark. (I took the photo later!) There is a definite accumulation of snow on the window sill. This tells me we had a fair bit of snow. I brush my teeth, and get ready for the day.

Here we go again!

 We throw #75 (our released, rehabbed squirrel) peanuts, usually under the bird feeder. We feel responsible for him. Never mind that we have at least 3 black ones! He buried one in the garden in the snow. They'd rather hide them away than risk someone else getting them.   

The wind was blowing the snow over the roof. A little overhang.

I counted 27 Mourning Doves Monday morning. 

I think a hawk came by, as 27 mourning doves, plus chickadees, blue jays and all, scattered. It's not unusual. This is from Jan. 2, 2021.

We had 16 deer hoping for breakfast. I am relieved that all we had was snow. Further south, many in the US got freezing rain and ice rain. Snow I can deal with.

It was a heckuva storm. Toronto City Centre had 56 cm, which is a lot for a city property. We had 18 cm on the back deck, 16 on the driveway.
