The birds were cold this morning and when not gorging themselves on seed, they were fluffing up to keep warm.
You can see the amount of snow on the branches, it finally stopped last night, got colder, and was a lovely sunny day today. This bluejay is annoyed to find the sunflower seeds gone from this feeder!
Doesn't this bluejay look like a little fatty?! He's not, just really fluffed up to try and keep warm.This is how they "insulate" themselves.
This female hairy woodpecker is finding more food on the ground than pecking on the tree trunks
We have seen only male evening grosbeaks so far, not sure why the females are missing. This year seems to be bringing back more grosbeaks and bluejays than the last two. It will be nice if we are back to normal bird populations this year, except for having to purchase way more seed again
Looks like a little dancing circle here....All these pictures were taken from a bedroom window, including the one below.
There were 4 deer almost directly behind the window, but by the time I ran for the camera and came back, they were on the move. They actually just went over to the west side of the house and found a few apples over there.
