Snow tonight?

It has been cold, back to the winter again.  Sensing the cold pressure with wind and rain, birdies know it might snow.  That is why they are busy all day eating as much when they can.


Chickadees are busy with sunflower seeds.  They come in twos or threes sometimes.


This morning the water in the birdbath was frozen; Pine Siskins can only lick the ice or walk on it.


Later in the afternoon, the two brothers are shouting,"You need to have our permission to join!"  (See the blurry one just flying in.)


On the wet lawn, a pair of Lesser Goldfinches were trying to eat new and tender dandelion leaves.


In the sun which comes out once in a while, a Yellow-rumped Warbler looks like a prince.  He just finished eating the suet.


A male Lesser Goldfinch deserves much attention to that bright color.  He likes to eat thistle seeds together with Pine Siskins and American Goldfinches.

I hope everyone got enough to eat today before the cold front comes in tonight.
