Not much to report from Abington today. We were on the short end of the "Blizzard of Twenty Ten" here in Abington township with a mere 14 inches of snow. I had the driveway cleared by 11 AM Saturday. Piece of cake. Everyone else was texting, calling and emailing about their 26+ inches.
Meanwhile, our birds were lined up at the feeder just waiting for me to shovel and sprinkle their seeds. They literally sat in branches a few feet from my head waiting. Once I put the seed out - whoosh! 40 - 50 birds including 2 dozen juncos, 1 dozen goldfinches, white-throated and song sparrows, nuthatches, chickadees, titmice, downy and red-bellied woodpeckers decended on the feeders and have not stopped since.
We have an addition to our pet family too. Lucy has become a full time member due to allergies of our friends' 4 year old. Lucy and Roxy made out fine on their first weekend together. Roxy is a princess as you know and is having a tough time in the snow. I put boots on her which lasted about 5 minutes. . .
Oh, did I mention the additional 12 inches of snow forecast for Tuesday night. Geez. Makes Florida look better and better.

Next time you finish up with your 12 inches of snow, feel free to come over and help your NJ neighbors dig out of their 25!
Ready for the next 12-18?
Our birds were equally happy to get fed, our list was similar with the addition of two cardinals, one blue jay, and a morning dove. All fine until the Coopers Hawk settled in our tree!
