We've had two more snowstorms which have been pretty to look at and certainly more comfortable to work in than several days of rain. Now the snow is gone, the rain has stopped for a couple of days, and we've even seen the sun.
But it's been very cold again - in the low 20s when I get up - and windy.
Biting winds.
Here's a hungry chickadee, back turned to the wind.
Brrrrrrr.
My birdfeeders have never been busier than in recent months. I haven't totted up how many pounds of feed have been purchased, but I consider the cost to be my Entertainment Budget. And well spent.
Goldfinches are such scrappy little birds. They'd rather argue than eat.
And now the goldfinches are starting to color up. Spring is near.
This little nuthatch was perfectly still for about two minutes.
Lost in thought?
Mourning doves are so colorful.
Understated, but colorful.
Speaking of color...
Fingers crossed the bluebirds will continue to visit a while longer.
