I was stuck in the house during the February 13th snow storm. I had no inspiration for the next day's blog, when this guy flew into view in my front yard.
A picture might not be worth a thousand words, and I got at least a couple hundred out of the giant bird in the chestnut tree.
The winter of 13-14 was long, dark, snowy and cold... but I doubt this bird would have made a stop in camera range, in better weather. Yes, winter does have its plusses.
The sight deserves mention in this year's Top Ten.
