It's hard to believe that just two days ago, it was warm and clear (for this time of year), with no snow on the ground. There were buds coming on twigs, and fresh growth peeping out from under last year's dead leaves.

| Tree full of early robins. February 10th at Lake Gibson |
It had been so mild that we had quite an influx of early migrants. I reported seeing a mockingbird on February 4th, and on the 10th, I saw a belted kingfisher. Flocks of robins can be seen resting in trees and searching under leaves for hibernating insects.
In the last twenty-four hours or so, we had at good four or five inches of snow fall, and now we have more seasonal temperatures forecast for our area. So now we know. The early bird doesn't get the worm, he gets frostbite!
