If you can call it work to be in a place like this. 
You must not approach wildlife in Antarctic area closer than 15 feet (4.5 meters). However, when you lay down flat on the ground, the wildlife will approach you.

Yep, we ended up with a foot of snow from this storm. Not usual at any time in this area, but downright freaky that it happened in March.

Windy, rainy, and cold today, but it didn't stop the birds from visiting. I was blessed with quite a selection today. Hummingbirds, Orioles, Indigo Buntings, Cedar Waxwings, Goldfinches, Woodpeckers, Eastern Kingbirds, the usual selection of Sparrows, and even a Cardinal showed up.
I was glad I decided to wait until tomorrow to go into town.

I did have to shoot at a high ISO which resulted in some noise, but still I'm fairly happy with some of the shots I got today.

Fargo had closed most business and advised no travel during the last storm which dumped 10" of heavy wet snow.  Mostly emergency routes were cleared for the flood fighting efforts, leaving side streets a bit of a mess.  So, I stayed home.

It won't be long and we'll see green again.  

I've decided this is the last full winter I spend in this place.  Perhaps a long vacation in Florida or San Diego?  Someplace warm with water.  ;-)
