This morning I proved to be right! Under the freezing temperature I was on lookout on the patio with a down coat, a pair of gloves and a hat. The rhododendron bush had hard frost sparkling in the sun.
The blue sky was out, but under the patio was still shaded and very cold. I sensed a little something just zipped across. When I looked in the direction it travelled to, aha, the long-awaited winter bird was hanging onto the suet feeder.
"I am a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. I'm not afraid of
you. Just hungry for your suet."
"A big bite. Ummm, delicious."
After a quick visit, it took off to my neighbor's backyard. Hoping to see you again very soon.
