Grey Skies and Vivid Colours at the Vermilon River. A Post to SWF.

The morning sky promised little, and that proved true as the day turned stormy, perhaps not a blizzard, but close. Click a photo to enlarge and for the slideshow.

This photo shows the blowing snow. It was a spring storm as the snow was wet and heavy. But that's a good day for photographing the winter birds, who are hungry. You can see the snow in most photos. If there's a blue sky then the photo is from another day. I've not put the photos in any order, and I'm using captions to give you the species. The mass photos are to give you some idea of the fun of photographing in a large flock.
