Window Wildlife








Cardinals and smaller birds wait in the bush for their turn to dine on the birdseed Rick tossed on the snow beneath them.























Meanwhile, a downy woodpecker takes his turn; but the squirrel pays no attention as the birds come and go. Everyone is bulking up ahead of the snowstorm on its way. (We woke up this morning to 8" of fresh snow.)






I love how the squirrels flip their tails over their backs like a blanket. They really are fun to watch!

Wonderful photos---I was blessed enough to have rufous-side towhees at my feeder the last three days! They usually hide in the woods, but when the snow is on the ground, they venture out! LOVE seeing these!

What beautiful pictures! The birds are so fluffed up it must be really cold! Thanks for sharing that.

One thing that is guaranteed to put a smile on my face: a flash of red in the winter-bare trees. A cardinal!

Keep warm!

Great pics! We love bird watching around our house, too. The dogs especially love watching for squirrels. ;)
