We left Northfield on 15 January 2018 for a winter vacation to Key West and Sanibel Island, Florida, and then over to Mission, Texas. On our first three days, we encountered some of the worst winter driving of our lives. The roads all the way from Minnesota to Mobile, Alabama, were ice-skating rinks.
On the morning of the 17th, we visited Bonita Lakes City Park in Meridian, Mississippi. The temperature was 14 degrees F, and the night saw a light dusting of snow. Many songbirds, like these Yellow-rumped Warblers, fed on the ground. They appeared to be eating fallen cedar berries. There is nothing that surprising about a Yellow-rumped Warbler on the ground—only none of them fed in the trees.
