A history-making snow storm hit the Mid-Atlantic states today dumping between 15″-20″ of snow in my area of Virginia.  The snowfall made my backyard feeders very popular with the local bird community.  I spent several hours watching and photographing these hungry visitors.  There was a good variety of birds, from Blue Jays (above) to Cardinals, Wrens, Juncos, Woodpeckers, Crows, Sparrows, Mourning Doves, Chickadees and Titmice.  Some of the visitors are shown below.
