The weather outside is frightful

Someone posted a photo taken on Terlingua Ranch, adjacent to CMO, and said it was all "fluffy outside." Well, that's an interesting way of putting it. Here's a photo my sister took from her place. It's part of my property overlooking the oasis.

And here's a Scott's Oriole that decided to overwinter in Terlingua at a friend's house. There are lots of ocotillos blooming there which is probably why it hung around. It's very unusual to see a Scott's here in the winter. Photo courtesy Bonnie Wunderlich. 

And here is one of my feeders in town before I rehung warm ones.

Also here in Alpine are Meadowlarks foraging as best they can under our biggest pecan tree.
