Finally a bird I know all about Pam....the snowbird. It is also

known to settle in the state of Arizona from November to April.

There's even a Canadian snowbird that shows up down here. Many of

the snowbirds carry sticks and chase little white balls around the

greener areas of town.

Recent bumper sticker seen in AZ- " So many snowbirds, so little

freezer space "
