For The Birds

 Winter would seem long if it were not for the birds.  They flock to the feeders when the first snow comes and they keep me entertained when the weather is cold and blustery.

The photo above was snapped this morning.  As you can see most of our white stuff is gone.  We did finally get a thaw.    This male cardinal does not show up well due to the morning's rosy glow.  I think he was happy that things had warmed up a bit.

This was the weather two weeks ago.  Will it be back?  Most likely it will return.  For now though I am enjoying spring like temperatures.

Will share todays glorious sunrise with you and hope everyone's February is blessed.

Hugs!

Holding On

This boy is holding on as winter's bluster continues.

His lovely mate is waiting to eat.

Their Blue Jay friend is thinking it is more than his turn at the feeder...

while these two buddies are just happy to clean up the leftovers.

Yes sweet friends I am holding on too while winter continues her visit.

We are preparing like so many in our part of the world for the coming Arctic Air .   Hope all of you are warm and safe.

Fine Feathered Friends

Blue Jay

Some fine feathered friends came by to say hello today.

The snowy weather didn't keep them from gathering to visit.

These three chums arrived together.    I think they wanted to make sure there was going to be plenty of vittles.

Ms. Tufted titmouse came alone.   She seemed to be in a bit of hurry.  Didn't linger long.  I am sure she will be back again soon.

Naturally Mr. Cardinal showed up.    He was a bit late.   I think he may have been delayed because his girlfriend was taking her time getting ready.

I must say she looked well decked out when she finally made her appearance.

So glad these friends took time to stop by.   Glad you did too.

Hope all of you who are still having winter are staying safe and warm.


Hugs Debbie
