The good news! Eastern Bluebirds came back today!
The bad news! We are in the midst of another winter storm, dropping 3-5 inches (or more) of fresh, wet snow.
The combination of bluebirds and falling snow is a nice one for photographs, so I shouldn't complain too much, but seriously.....I would like to be able to take a walk without my boots filling with snow!
This Bluebird looks like he's had enough of the snow, too!
I did take a very brief walk at Breakneck Hill Conservation Land today. The snow was falling so heavily that there was really nothing I could take a picture of, and I had to protect my camera from the wetness of it all. It accumulated quickly. I chose to save these first two photos in Black & White. I like the effect.
Real life shot - looks more bluish.
Meanwhile, back at home, the snow really brought the birds (and a few squirrels) to the feeders.
American Goldfinch
Tufted Titmouse
The piled up snow grows higher and higher.... (ridiculous)
February 13th, a short five days ago!
(Notice the green vertical post for the plant hooks about six inches in from the left corner of the table? As you can see in this photo, there is a support bracket showing. In the above photo, the snow has accumulated higher than that support bracket.)
Dark-Eyed Junco
Black-Capped Chickadee
Northern Cardinal
There was a high of 4 males and 2 females visiting at one time. So pretty in the snow!
Only 30 days until Spring!!!
