Last Monday (1/6/25) was our first significant snowfall of the season. I spent a lot of my time looking at the birds outside. These are photos I took. I have added links to all their names.
The male House Finches were the first to appear after we replenished the birdseed.
This was the first White-throated Sparrow I had seen in a long time.
A Carolina Wren, always a visitor thankfully.
I felt lucky to get a photo of this Red-bellied Woodpecker before he flew out of frame.
A male Northern Cardinal and I think an American Goldfinch.
A Mourning Dove and a House Finch.
A Blue Jay, another regular visitor.
The House Finches and one Dark-eyed Junco looked like they were having a party.
I think this little House Finch was waiting for a spot to open up.
This is where I am ending my post. I hope you enjoyed my little birds enjoying their snow day.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope your day is a great one.
Next best thing to "Saturday At the Birdfeeder!" You know my favorite is the little wren, even though I have been attacked by one! How on earth do you get such sharp clear pics of the birds??
ReplyDeleteThat’s very sweet of you to say Ginny. Thank you very much :) I have a lot of blurry photos I don’t share and I am always wishing for a steadier hand. I am very happy you like these :
DeleteSuch hardy little critters. I would be engrossed in watching them too. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteVery happy you enjoyed them Sue and they certainly are very hardy. Thank you!
DeleteYou have such a nice variety of birds that show up at your feeders. How fun to watch them all.
ReplyDeleteIt really is, they are very entertaining :) Thanks Ann :)
DeleteLove these bird photos.
ReplyDeleteThe Cardinal looks so pretty in the snow.
The House Finches really do look like they’re partying!
Thank you Veronica Lee, so glad you loved them :)
DeleteSuch pretty birds, and they obviously appreciate the food you put out for them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Janice, they do seem to love this birdseed :)
DeleteHello Denise,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all your birds and photos. It looks like your feeder attracts a nice variety of birds. Take care, have a great day!
Thank you Eileen, I very much appreciate that :) happy you enjoyed. You take care and have a great day also.
DeleteThe beautiful birds are certainly enjoying your generous offerings Denise. Great photo and I especially loved the woodpecker in flight!
ReplyDeleteThank you Martha Ellen, I was very happy about that woodpecker :)
DeleteI noticed the bunny's are upright and not down for the count. they look a little cold with the snow on the top. all the birds are just darling. so cute and cuddly looking. the first bird looks a bit scruffy but still adorable...
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandra, the little finch did look a bit bedraggled. I think he had been enjoying face planting into the snow, lol! Yes the bunnies were fully protected by the deep snow :)
DeleteDenise, you have a fine flock there!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree Jenn, thank you :)
DeleteSome really great shots, Denise. That woodpecker one is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Angie, Very much appreciate your comment. I was very happy I was able to photograph that woodpecker.
DeleteThank you for the photo's of the birds. When I lived in a house in "L" a lot of the birds you show here came to the feeder. Now, living in a 5th floor apartment I don't see very many birds. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou appear to have more snow than where I live here in Canada.
You are very welcome and thank you, I enjoy the birds immensely, and I am happy you did too :) We have had a lot more snow this year.
DeleteDenise, when we lived in VA and it was a snow day, I did the same thing. You were able to get some wonderful captures of nearly all the same birds we would see on the VA eastern shore. However, I never was able to get a good woodpecker image, so kudos to you. It is nice to be safe and warm indoors on a snow day, unfortunately here in Nashua, NH, we have not had any measurable ❄️☃️ snow aside from flurries 😟
ReplyDeleteThank you Dorothy, it was a fun photograph day, especially as we were not able to go anywhere :) It looks like you would enjoy a bit more snow. We enjoyed ours but we don’t have to go anywhere and thanks to Gregg, our pantry supplies are well stocked. I remember the days of being stuck in the snow and having to push the car a few times. Fortunately there was always help from strangers.
