February 26, 2023 Another day of snow and rain. Gusting wind knocks branches from the trees and pins dozens of pine siskins and Cassin’s finches to the ground. I’ve just returned from a week in Flagstaff where record snow (73 inches for January and February) forced me onto the roof of my youngest daughter’s home with a shovel and axe. The son-in-law’s idea, not mine. As were the Yaktrax cleats for my boots. As a precaution against broken legs.
Wow--Flagstaff must be beautiful! The only highlight here this month is the continuing AMGO. The kestrel pair and WESO are roosting in their respective boxes, the GHOWs are duetting and I saw the Say's Phoebe with nesting material today. Spring is just around the corner!

Awesome, Arlene! I am so ready for spring! But it looks like more snow tonight.... At least the creek is running and the tanks are full.
