Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is partly sunny and damn cold.  It's currently 15°F with a wind chill of 0°F from 14mph wind. O_O

 

I haven't fed the birds yet, but I have seen a flock of sparrows and a mourning dove in the forest garden.  Feeders have been heavily used with little birdy tracks all over the ground.

 

I took pictures around the yard.  Did I mention it's damn cold out?  And I couldn't bundle up as much as usual, because with a scarf over my face I couldn't see to shoot.  I think I got some good pictures, though.  There are some lovely sculptural snowdrifts at low levels, and enough sun to highlight the shapes.  I hope.

EDIT 1/19/24 -- I fed the birds.  I've seen a male and a female cardinal separately, in addition to the earlier birds.

I put out water for the birds.
