Winter Sports

With the day starting in the 20's and increasing to the 40's by mid-day -- I spend more time indoors looking outdoors and the birds make for great entertainment.

This hummer found my refilled feeder in record time -- and seemed so pleased that she/he just sat there on the perch for a long spell.


It took a few days for the chickadees and sparrows to notice this new feeder, but once they did it became the focus of much flitting to and fro. The feeder was emptied in less than a week.


This suet basket seems to please as well.


One warmer afternoon (when the birdbath wasn't frozen solid) the birds seemed to be catching up for the entire winter. Half a dozen or so took prolonged dips.
