Snow and the Birds



This morning's snow brought the birds to my feeders.  It is fun to watch the Dark-eyed Juncos swarming over the yard and chasing in the snow.  Finches in the tree, on the ground, at the feeders, on my patio.  I even had a pair of White-Crowned Sparrows drop in to join the fun.  Sorry, I am not a pro photographer and these images were through my window with a cheap digital camera.

I refilled the bird bath with warm water and all three species loved it!  Drinking it and splashing in it.

I had a bunch of tumble weeds pile up against the shepherds hook and I was about to burn them, but the birds seem to appreciate the protective cover, so I'll leave them for now.

Hey, this isn't a bird...it's Claire!
(Claire still thinks birds are an alien invasion species and she thinks her mission in life to save mankind by scaring them away when they come to the feeders)
