Snowbird


I have just returned to the Lost River Valley where temperatures are in the teens and there is snow on the ground and ice on the roofs. This isn't a good photo but I want to pay tribute to this little invention. It is called a snowbird and it keeps snow and ice from avalanching off the roof as the sun warms the metal panels and frozen precipitation begins to slide. Rows of these little birds sit low on every standing-seam metal roof, preventing injury to people, plants, and animals below!
