Today we headed out north to see what could be seen. The sky darkened dramatically, the temperature dropped, and there was a bit more snow left on the ground. After driving across higher ground, we dropped down into Ringold, looking for whatever birds might be found. There were lots of robins, the occasional waterfowl, and several of these warblers (what type, I don't know.) The tiny birds together with the olives left on the branches was a delight. I've never much cared for Russian olives - they're not native, they have long, very sharp thorns, and I ran into one on my bike when I was a kid. But as shelter and a food source for songbirds...well, it's difficult to complain too much.
