This week has been sub-zero most mornings 3 below this morning 11 below on Wednesday morning. I have to bundle up to fill the bird feeders , and the birds seem to appreciate it . They grace several window views. I think the cardinals are my favorite this time of year , so bright against the snow.
some days I count two dozen. Considerably less than last year when there were over 50 in some counts . Could be the rather mild snow-less winter till this week .
the birds bulking up before the snow
the Christmas tree is just out the front door , make it easy to throw seed without getting too cold .
It will stay there until the first day of spring then on to the burn pile to celebrate spring
the jays normally feed on the north pine tree where I throw popcorn. I think they station a lookout : when I throw the popcorn in the tree I hear a call and by the time I get back into the house and to the back window there are a dozen or so jays flying in and out grabbing popcorn. Fun to watch.
