Avian Calligraphy

Under the bird feeder, footprints crisscross the new dusting of snow an avian calligraphy of stories that I am unable to read.

Christmas feast

After a day of stormy weather, the sun is out,  the sky is blue,and the temperatures cold.  Stetller Jay and Chickadees are feasting on dried Elderberries and black sunflower seeds.

Inside, we are preparing for our Christmas Day feast.

Hoping for Spring Sunshine!

I hear the birds signing their morning song.  I hope this is a sign that the day to come will include sunshine.  The pre-dawn sky has a blue tint.  Could we be in for a sunny Spring day without pesky snow flurries?

Waiting for room at the lunch counter

The goldfinches have flown in to find a heavy snow.  They have to wait to share space on the bird feeder with the chickadees.

 A few juncos are out and about.  They feed under the feeder.
