Echoing John's experience, shoveling out this morning offered a rare
opportunity for extended winter yard birding. We had Canada Geese flying
over calling, in small flocks from NE to SW, and though we had nothing
unusual among them, we did have two separate Common Ravens flying over
calling loudly, our first for the yard birds list.

While shoveling out late this morning I heard the honking of Canada
Geese. I looked up to see a westward flock of ~30 birds, within
which was - appropriately enough - one snow white individual. Of
course I wasn't wearing my eyeglasses (just non-prescription shades)
and had no bins close at hand. I found a single Snow Goose among
Canadas last weekend at Heckscher SP while doing the NYSOA Waterfowl
count - perhaps this might have been that bird. Anyway, whether Snow
Goose or Ross's, I missed out on a yard list lifer. As if shoveling
wasn't bad enough.
