Yes, we have real snow this morning. Enough on the ground
to make tracks, attract wildlife looking for food and water, and
take photos of beautiful birds doing what birds do on a cold
snowy morning.
I was up ready with my camera right after sunrise
Snow around here means birds.
A lot of birds!
We prepared the feeding stations yesterday afternoon as it did
seem certain snow would fall last night.
Here's a list of the birds I've seen today. Male and female
of most species, some the same color others total different, but
certainly an amazing array of colors and sizes, each enjoying their
choice of feeding, on the ground, on the seed and suet feeders, and
on the porch floor and porch rails outside the dining room window.
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Black-capped Chickadee
Eastern Bluebird
Northern Cardinal
Tufted Titmouse
Eastern Towhee
Carolina Wren
Blue Jay
Mourning Dove
House Finch
Dark-eyed Junco
American Robin
Mockingbird
White-breasted Nuthatch
Brown-headed Cowbird
Song Sparrow
House Sparrow
Pine Siskin
No, not a bird, but he's a really good vacuum cleaner after
they've eaten!
I took an awful lot of photos today, so many in fact I had a real problem
with iCloud loading them on my laptop - some were from my iPhone, most
from my camera which may have slowed the transfer down.
Anyway, here's a later than planned post with some of the birds who
visited today - even if you're not really a huge bird lover, I think you might
enjoy seeing them on a perfect winter's day.
