Once Again


The predicted snow arrived around two yesterday and carried on for a few hours.


Temperatures began to drop and the birds crowded the feeder.

Beautiful feather patterns on this fella--some sort of sparrow, I presume.




The Rufous-Sided Towhee seems a tad offended by the whole thing.


At one point, there were three pair of cardinals on the crabapple--and two more at the feeder. 

There may be more snow. We are hunkering down. Fire in the fireplace, spaghetti sauce bubbling on the stove, plenty of books, a new (to us) series to watch--Jericho of Scotland Yard. Quite enjoyable but an amazing amount of smoking going on--it's set in the Seventies.

The snow and birds look great together.

Loved seeing the towhee. I think they are so distinctive.
Snowing here now very lightly more predicted with blizzard conditions possible.

Oh that tree full of cardinals! Towhee is one of my favorites! Still snowing here this morning. Not much on the ground but the high is due to be 26!

Haha, the towhee does look very grumpy!I love the cardinals, stunning colour. We don't get them here. They look like Christmas baubles in that snowy tree. No snow over here (yet) but its blowing an absolute gale (Storm Malik) so I'm hunkered down too. Stay cosy and I hope your bad cold has abated.
