Blue Berry Blizzard

Sorry, I couldn't resist the play on words, heh. ;-)))

We had a huge flock of migrating Mountain Bluebirds visit our neighbor's mountain ash tree during our recent big spring snowstorm. We regularly see robins and waxwings use this tree as a winter food source but this is the first migrating flock of bluebirds to visit and I wonder if it was due to the heavy snow catching them at the right time. After getting 22" last week, more is forecast for today!

Edit: I replaced the originally uploaded version with a slightly less sharpened one as the flickr re-sizing algorithm seemed to make it appear over-sharpened. Hopefully this version is better!
