Icy conditions. . . . . .and smart birds!

Garden birds are smart...........in many ways!

On Sunday, during the ice storm, which thankfully didn't cause any major damage
here in our area, I noticed the potting shed in the back garden provided shelter 
for many birds, especially House finches. . . . . . 

. . . . . . and this adorable Titmouse tucked under the roof overhang.


The finches, male and female, gathered together and shared covered
 spaces for over an hour when the freezing rain was falling.

This post is especially for the many bird lovers out there - hoping these 
beautiful creatures visit your gardens too.
