More Snow Means More Snow Birds

From Tuesday afternoon through the wee hours of Wednesday morning, we were walloped with 8-9″ of snow.  When I got up, my backyard birds were already busily looking for the buried food that I had put out on the ground and in branch crevices in ‘their’ tree just before the snow began.  I stepped out on my back porch and took some photos of the birds against the winter landscape.

I thought pretty!

A little bit later and this time properly dressed for outdoors, I was back outside and shoveled a path to the tree, cleared around it, and put out more bird seed.  The birds were very happy.  I know this because they were part of my entertainment that day!
