Re: New Year, New Bird's Nest - January 2017

Hi Birders......  Just stopping by to tell you all how  much I am enjoying all the beautiful picctures that are posted in this thread!  Thanks to birdmama! 

The other day just before a snowfall we had 2 female cardinals and 4 male cardinals at the feeders.  We have never seen that many at one time!  Also had 10 juncos and a lot more birds.  I think that the wildlife and the birds know when the weather is going to turn bad and come out in full force to eat. 

 

Have a great rest of the day everyone and thanks again for the great pics.!

TGIF Birding Friends - it remains cold here today (teens, last time I looked). 

 

I've been feeding my outdoor birds for 15 years now and I don't think I will ever stop being amazed and humbled by their fortitude in this weather.

Bernie,   I watched both clips.   They are so funny.   You ought to hear the sounds these little birds make.  It sound like a buzzing sound, though shorter.
