Tufted Titmice

Today was going to be a walk along the trails in the city of Barberton. However, the recent significant additional snowfall covered the trails, making them too difficult to traverse. We went to parking lots on Snyder and Fairview in Barberton and took a few photos, but didn't do any actual hiking. We decided to go to one of our favorite bird hangouts, across from the Vanderhoof Rd. parking lot, going south on the trail. We certainly were graced with a wide variety of species, and snapped away as they posed for us. If it hadn't started drizzling, we'd have stayed all day. We plan to go back soon and set up the blind.

Although we have enjoyed the beauty of the snow on the Towpath, its rendering of the trails as passable with great difficulty is wearing thin. I know that spring will bring with it much rain and mud, but at this point I think we are ready for a change!

So kind these birds are
Posing for us without dread
Weary of winter
