bird friends





Watching the birds feed gives me much pleasure. The variety, color and even attutide of the different species is both educational and entertaining. Today the feeder had taken on such a delightful adornment with the snow frosting that I didn't want to disturb it. The birds were treated to a winter picnic from a paper plate on the back porch. We counted 10 cardinals at one time vieing for the seed and bread crumbs. This view shows 3 cardinals and a Junco. Since both John and I are suffering from coughs we opted to stay in out of the weather and these delightful little creatures provided us with a nice diversion from the commercial saturated tv offerings. The best things are still free.
