The staccato bawp, bawp, bawp of duck hunter guns punctuates the early morning. We sit just a mile or so from the Great South Bay and with low clouds overhead and snow covering the ground, sounds carry well. Yesterday was the first real winter storm for the NYC area. We got perhaps four inches locally of pretty wet snow which melted down a bit before evening freeze-up. This morning dawns with a fine snow falling, already having deposited close to half an inch on the frozen stuff below.
At the feeding area, a dozen or so white-throats are poking the snow-ice along with a pair of cardinals and three or four mourning doves.
