Backyard Wintertime Nature in New Jersey

Turkey Vultures soaring over the backyard and birds visiting the snowed covered backyard birdfeeder: Mourning Dove, Turkey Vulture, Red-winged Blackbird, Northern Cardinal. My eBird Checklist. Both male and female Red-winged Blackbird and Northern Cardinal. Normally I don’t see the Red-winged Blackbirds this time of year. The snow may have forced them to look further for food.

Wintertime Backyard Nature in New Jersey.

About 4 inches of wet snow and sleet fell in the morning. I waited till it turned to cold rain to clear the driveway. The only reason I cleared the driveway was because I was expecting a UPS delivery. The snow blower has a hard time with wet snow. I had to stop several times to remove the packed “ice-cores” from the blower-chute. Time-lapse video recorded with a Garmin VIRB-360 camera.

Daily Electric Energy Used (88.7 kWh) from Sense. Daily Solar Electric Energy Produced (2.0 kWh) from Sense and SolSystems. Snow and sleet. The solar panels partially covered with snow. Geothermal HVAC system on. A deficit of 86.7 kWh.
