After the Snow

finding fallen bird seeds under the snow!

Late April Snow

Blue Jays love peanuts!

A chipping sparrow fluffed up to keep warm.

A sparrow finds nourishment...

Robins in the snow on Monday

The snow looked so magical on Monday...

the robins were eating the sumac

lovely to see....

Snowing!

Unexpected snow today…was glued to the window

watching the birds and critters.

The Birds and the First Snow

The first snow of the season and some of the birds who

visited our yard...

Snowing

Yesterday we had snow once again…

fortunately it was light and didn't accumulate.

Will we ever see the crocuses this spring?

Another Big Blizzard

So cold and so much snow…

I sprinkled bird seed on the surface of the snow

for the birds and squirrels.

We have regulars at the bird feeders

this winter.

Today we saw the starlings, blue jays,

tufted titmouse, sparrows, juncos, cardinals,

chickadees, starlings and finches.

Getting harder to dig out!

First Big Snowstorm

Looking out early this morning to see snow mounds

from overnight. That's the birdbath!

We have to make sure the birds can find their food.

First Day of Spring

Could this be the first day of spring?

Snow!

A large snowstorm  took this chipmunk by surprise,

he just woke up from hibernation a few days ago

and spring is tomorrow!

I noticed him in the garden sitting on the top of a

weeping mullberry.

(can you see the chipmunk in the photo above?

Blizzard

New England is in for a big blizzard this

weekend, a Nor' easter and it has already begun snowing

here. Woke up to about 4 inches overnight and there could be 2 feet

by the end of it.

We're in for a lot of shoveling!

Hope everyone stays safe and warm!

Snowy Gulls

Yesterday was a magical snowy day...

the gulls gathered in the ocean as the soft white

snowflakes swirled around them.

a beautiful sight...

Snowing Again

This morning the snow brought this little red squirrel
to our bird feeder...



Some birds had to wait for their turn



except for the junco who gathered the fallen
sunflower seeds from the fluffy snow!

A Snowy Day for the Birds

To think this is just the 2nd snow fall since October...


As the wet snow fell,
the robins flocked to the bushes with berries...

Saw a brief and rare appearance of the red squirrel...
he is so fast, in a blink of an eye he was gone.

Friday Snowing

Some visitors on a snowy Friday!

Early Morning Snow

Ellie May watched me early this morning as
I swept the freshly fallen snow from
the path to the studio.

It was a winter wonderland
til the sun appeared...

Contemplation and Camouflage

Yesterday was a day of contemplation...
the quiet and peacefulness of the snow crept inside.

While outside, I happened to startle the gray squirrel
who was filling up at the bird feeder...he leapt to the
nearby crabapple tree and seemed to disappear...
can you see him?

well,
here's a close up!

Snowed In!

It looks as though Ellie May
is snowed in...patiently waiting
and watching... breakfast was
being delivered after I got a bit
side-tracked with the beauty of
the snow and my camera!
