We had our first ice storm (hopefully our last this season, but who am I kidding?). I had filled this feeder less than 24 hours ago. Now it’s nearly empty again, and covered in ice. I don’t recall seeing actual icicles on my feeders before. Hopefully all this seed is helping the birds keep warm. I’m afraid if I went out right now I’d slip and break a leg, so they’re going to have to wait for later before I can provide the refill.

Self-sustaining
Our birds planted a sunflower and we let them keep it. This one has begun harvesting the bounty. It’s good to see them taking steps towards independence.
Choices matter
Okay I admit I’ve been lax on refilling the feeders and I will get to that today. One bird chose unwisely and was the face of disappointment. The other was the glutton and would not share with anyone.
Photobomb!
This is not my best photo by a long shot, but the fact a bird decided to fly in just as I was snapping the picture was too cool not to share!
Dinner for one
Just a white-crowned sparrow enjoying some thistle.
Brunch date
I love watching the birds on the bird feeders we have. Sometimes they seem a little mean to each other – pushing other birds away even when there is plenty of room. Other times, like this, it’s like a bird couple out on a date. (and the lady bird is giving me the side-eye for checking our her man…)
