Suddenly homeless

Having watched as several feet of snow have fallen on our yards and roads, we can't forget the impact on wildlife.


While checking on my girls in their chicken coop the other day, something made me look up, where I saw this bird – a junco? – apparently distraught about an abundance of snow having filled it's nest.

What's a bird to do but wait for a thaw? I thought about finding a 10 foot pole with which I could knock the snow about, but nature took its course and the rain that fell last night took away every bit of this snow.
