Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is cloudy and cold.  It's been snowing off and on, a fine light dusting that's just beginning to layer into more than frosting.

 

I fed the birds.  I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches, a flock of at least 10 starlings, a lady cardinal, and a goldfinch.

 

I put out water for the birds.  I startled a flock of mourning doves.

 

EDIT 12/2/24 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

 

I've seen a female downy woodpecker at the suet cage.  I heard a tufted titmouse but didn't see it.

 

I sprinkled ice-melt on the patio.

 

I am done for the night.

 

EDIT 12/2/24 -- At some point, the snow turned from dust to actual flakes.  Now everything is sparkly.  :D
