Thursday was sunny but chilly, and I spent a fair amount of time at the dining table, working on Christmas/Solstice cards. I had a nice view of the bird feeder and our customers. The purple finch was a nice surprise--the first I've seen in a while.
Lots of chickadees, as always, plus titmice, wrens, and nuthatches which I didn't capture, being busy with the cards.
Just a few more to go then I have to embark on the cranberry/popcorn string. John got the tree up and lighted and the living room is nicely aglow.

Finches are such pretty fellows. Along with other colorful birds,they brighten up the. Winter.
I always enjoy seeing the winter birds -- dark-eyed juncos and white-crowned sparrows -- come in. They love white millet seed, and we have plenty for them. We buy a big bag of dried worms for winter because the wrens and the bluebirds love them. Bluebirds only visit our feeding stations in winter. As usual, we have plentiful cardinals, along with woodpeckers and flickers.
What a fine thing: writing cards while occasionally watching the birdies.
