And the birds have it!

Winter Birds


A break from house cleaning, crafting, and decorating today.  Some much needed downtime!


What a great time we had bird watching today!  We saw so many cardinals in the back yard.  It was thrilling!  There had to be four families of the beauties coming and going for the seed.  This type of feeder is perfect for cardinals, along with the black oil sunflower seed.  Here you can see the male and female cardinals finally agreed to share the feeder. 




Joyful birds enjoying the snow!

They were moving so fast I could hardly believe it.  I was thankful for my Nikon AF-P Nikkor 70-300mm camera lens as I clicked away. 


Big and sassy daddy!

The male cardinals are of course the most beautiful in our opinion.  This particular one is rather plump!  He perched on the flower holder today and watched as all the ones flutter around and eat!
