Well, as you can see, Old Man Winter gave us yet another kick in the butt last night and so far this morning and dropping another 2-4cms of snow on us, in addition to running the temps back down to almost freezing again. While no real accumulation happened on the road ways so far given that they were so warm from the last several days of some real spring like temps, the snow has already covered all of the roof tops and parts of the various nest ledges.
The real good protected sites are those with enclosed nest boxes, as seen here at the Duncan Mills nest site where Quest is tucked far back into the nest box well protected from the snow and wind by the nest box roof and walls.
We all awoke this morning to find the entire city rooftops covered with a light covering of white snow, high winds, blowing snow and cold yet again!!
I’m sure that we’re not the only one feeling the pain, as a quick check of all of the web cams had all of the resident adult females down tight to their eggs and in the MEC nest site case, down hard covering the Canada’s first hatchlings.
Stay tuned…
