You know it’s bad in Erie, PA when they just stop plowing. Figure at least 70 cm (28 inches) of snow from early Friday morning to Saturday morning. Perhaps the largest single-day snowfall in 5 years. Interstate 90 and PA Route 5 (main state highway along Lake Erie parallel to I90) both closed. Heavy snow expected through Tuesday morning.
Heard a few Black-capped Chickadees this morning, otherwise minimal bird activity. Not unexpectedly. And with that, time to head back a couple weeks, pre-snow, for beautiful fall birds in Millcreek Twp (“Home of Snowpocalypse 2024”).
All photos American Robin (as above) unless otherwise noted.

Loved the Xmas lights photo. Ahh, so romantic…..
but wait: it’s ‘snowlapalooza’…..
Robin dining…really good shots…..
Back in the ‘old daze’ the berries on the pyracantha growing by the fireplace chimney would ferment and the robins would eat them and get drunk! Funny!
Nothing says ‘fall’ like American Robins eating berries!
