Dateline: 24 December 2022
The awful weather continues in Erie: overcast, windy, current temp of -16 deg C with a windchill down as low as -38 deg C, in the “dangerous” category. BirdingPI.com field operations remain on hiatus until conditions improve.

The irascible, beautiful Brown Thrasher:
Looks like a lovely Veery:
Some type of thrush (Hermit or Swainson’s):
Lovely American Robin:
