\n\tThere must have been a consolidated flock of at least three hundred birds and they spent the day frantically feeding on ornamental berries. Trying to get close to them on foot proved very challenging. Overnight we had 3-5 inches of snow and only a few of the invaders had lingered to feed on the remaining ornamental berries in gardens surrounding my house. The local waters were frozen and at Melbourne Pool there were some good photographic opportunities.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t \n<\/div>\n
