About 10 cm of new snow accumulated during the night and into the day
on April 15th, and it continued to cover the previous limited bare ground on
the 16th. This resulted in large numbers of sparrows, juncos and blackbirds
concentrating at the Visitor Centre feeders on those days, such as 70
Dark-eyed Juncos on the 15th. Open water is restricted to rivers and creeks
with current. All lakes and ponds are frozen right to the shore. Still deep
snow in shaded forest.
