birdfeedingIt snowed here in southeastern Wisconsin. Much more than is usual for this early in the year. It snowed for nearly 24 hours, and there was no wind, so it came straight down and settled on everything. Here, I think we got around ten inches.
It knocked over our birdfeeders. The pole was slightly bent, but mostly it was just tearing out the ground. I shoveled off the grass and replanted the pole, since the ground wasn't yet frozen underneath the snow.
That's a platform feeder under a clear plastic dome, and on the other side, almost hidden behind the mourning doves, is a squirrel-proof column feeder. I had to bring that one inside to melt the snow off.
After getting everything reset, we had the usual crowd of mourning doves, house finches and dark-eyed juncos. Maybe cardinals, I don't remember, but they were definitely out there yesterday. The downy woodpecker was disappointed that the column feeder wasn't out when she visited.

Yikes! Lucky you managed to replant it.
Thank you so much for sharing the photos. They are beautiful. Alas, by this morning the snow here was not at all picturesque, although it looked like that yesterday afternoon. Last night it rained, then froze again. :/
