    It has been a very cold week in the minus wind chills...I hope our little warm up comes soon. The birds don't seem to mind it too much but we are going through more bird seed than usual...

    I'm hard pressed to find birds, even the pigeons that roost on our roofs lol. I see some flying everyonce in a while, but no songs or anything. Wonderful shots LOVE the cardinals *my favorite bird*

    I'm going through lots of food at the moment too Sherry. Our birds are all fluffed up like yours to keep warm throughout this dreadful weather.

    I just go to the feed store and get a 50 lb sack of chopped corn. $9.00 All the birds you have are here too and they love it.

    Great shots Sherry! They are all great, but I can really appreciate the last photo ... that little Sparrow just hovering over the food. Hard to get clear pictures in motion ... great job!
