Northern Flicker In A Snow Storm
I was thrilled to look out my window & see that my new yard bird was perched in my crepe myrtle close to me. She is beautiful & I got a good look at the yellow on the underside of her tail. The snow was coming down fairly heavy at this point.

Remembering Snowmageddon 2021
A year ago we had a weather event that began with snow and ice and dangerously low temps. Ended up with many, including myself, losing power for hours & enduring scary survival conditions. I'm still a bit traumatized. But there were some good things that came with the storm. Like this visit from a northern flicker. First one ever in my yard. So, trying to remember and focus on the beauty and positive things from a year ago.
