Antidote for too much snow

Here are some blooming prickly pear cactus yesterday in my neighborhood. Hopefully, seeing these will bring some warmth to snowbirds who may have left southern Arizona too early for the dark, cold North, arriving “home” to face whiteout, icy snow. Makes you wonder if they had to put chains on their vehicle to even get down their driveway to begin digging out a path to their front door.

Super-scruffy female Anna’s hummingbird flying in my backyard. She is today’s Daily Hummingbird.

Curve-billed thrasher weirdly doesn’t have the curviest bill of the thrashers.
