Enjoy some snow pics from our recent snowstorm: the one on the right was before the storm, the two on the left during the storm.

Not just a sudden explosion in bird population, but a sudden change in the sky too! Makes one mindful of how quickly things can change, doesn't it?

Are the birds starlings by any chance? There sure are a LOT of them. I wonder what they eat. I wouldn't think there'd be many bugs in NJ this time of year. ;-)

The birds certainly showed up en masse. The film THE BIRDS came to mind for me, too!
B&W snow pics are very nice also.

The shape of the wing looks like a gull, but I don't know what kind. Beautiful photos though..

That's a whole lot of birds.

I particularly like that last tree shot - it's got great perspective and the silhouetting works really well.
