Episode 50: Sunrise with the Snowbirds

Recorded on January 11, 2025, at the dogtrot on the Way Out West Deck, this is the sound of a winter bird chorus the morning after Winter Storm Cora blanketed the hill country with heavy snowfall. The dawn opens with the caw of American Crows joined by the melodies of White-throated, Chipping & Song Sparrows along with Purple, House & Goldfinches, Dark-eyed Juncos, Northern Cardinals and Canada Geese. You'll hear the flutter of wings as the birds visit the feeders and forage for seed in the native grasses and sedges in the pasture.
