Frozen Bath Water

Now that most of the leaves have fallen, the backyard is getting ready for winter.  It  is the best season to observe wild birds.  Yahoo!


The other day began with a beautiful sunrise and crows were flying out for their morning business.

It was below the freezing point in my backyard.  Look at this birdbath water.

Golden-crowned Sparrow:

"Quite slippery.  I need to walk slowly and surely.  

I don't want to break my bones."

House Finch:  "Yup.  Very carefully.  When the sunshine 

melts the water a little, I can still drink it."
