It's snowing. Farther south on the island, it's a snow storm; here it's a sprinkling. But we'll have white snow light in the morning. If it doesn't melt before dawn.
Here's a junco on a light dusting of snow, farther up in the hills.
He's a lighter brown than is usual, and blends nicely into the colours of his foraging ground. |

Está nevando. Más al sur de la isla, lo están llamando una tempestad, pero aquí apenas caen copitas bien separadas. Pero tendremos esa luz especial tan blanca, luz nevada al amanecer.
La foto es de un junco, Junco hyemalis, en tierra cubierta de hojas muertas y un leve salpicón de nieve. Saqué la foto desde la ventana del coche en las laderas de un cerro. Es de un color más claro que sus compañeros, que le sirve bien de camuflage en los sitios donde busca comida.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
