Still Snowing

As it snowed again this morning, more birds

flocked to the birdfeeders.

The snow changed to rain after several more inches....

The Birds in the Blizzard

A few of the birds who stopped by 

during the blizzard today were

 the  Carolina wren ...

the starling

the woodpecker

 

the cardinal
 

the chickadee

the sparrow

the bluejay

and some doves!

Saturday Morning of the Blizzard

Wow, we got more that 2 feet of snow, hard to tell from

the windows.

I looked out over the desolate wind blown yard to see little red

working his way over to the bird feeders.

Made it!

Hanging on!

Has company next door!

Where are the birds?

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!

Still Freezing

Bitter cold today!

Cold

It is so cold today that this mourning dove

resembles a penguin!

Brody's Company

Love when Brody chooses to sit above my head

on the couch looking over my shoulder!

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...

Mockingbird by the Sea

How thrilled we were to see the mockingbird

by the ocean today.

It's been years since we have seen it in this spot

during the winter.

Years ago when D and I took walks in the winter

we had noticed a mockingbird who seemed to survive

on a variety of winter berries growing along the coast.

I made a collection of drawings of the mockingbird

and the berries and put it together for a book

that has never been published.

I think this might be a sign for me to do 

something with it now!

The Gray Squirrel and the Chickadee

 

When I opened the shade this morning

I was greeted by the gray squirrel right

outside the window and very close to the house!

He was devouring the birdseed bell!

The Chickadee came along to partake of what

was left of the birdseed bell!
