Project 365

Started my day with a whole flock of lifebirds on my deck-- pine siskins! Cute, huh? (My userpic is a goldfinch, for comparison.)

Do any of you know anything about snowshoes? I'm thinking about buying either these or these. They're the weight rating I want, and the free poles aren't really a factor. Is there any aspect of construction or materials that should make a difference?

Leaving this public in case you want to point a knowledgeable friend my way.
