My snowy Saturday morning has turned into a sunny Sunday morning. It is still plenty cold outside, but the gray snow clouds have departed, and left us with sparkly snow
and shiny, sunlit branches
This morning was also good for the neighborhood birds; I replaced my broken feeder. I bought a set of two glass and copper feeders:
I figure I will lose some seed to the squirrels inevitably, but they shouldn’t be able to destroy these. My favorite winter birds wasted no time in locating this new food supply this morning. I had a visit from Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal and they seemed more than willing to hang around for a few photos this morning (although I still haven’t managed a shot with the two of them together yet):
This is clearest shot of the Mrs. I got today; she seemed rather coy – but I thought this over-the-shoulder look was cute. (Do birds have shoulders???) Mr. happily posed for a few more:
First day out with the new feeders and I’m lucky enough for pretty cardinal shots! Money well spent, I say!
