With the onset of winter, birding the backyard can be rather exciting (for a birder). This week I had a delightful visit by a hermit thrush. I occasionally see one in the winter, but its appearance in the yard is rather rare. It often likes more privacy than my yard offers. But when you are hungry...
We had a bit of snow earlier this week. It was enough to look pretty but not enough to impede activities for long, thank goodness. Even so, it was enough to make an interesting rim around the heated birdbath, and the birdbath, in turn, reflected tree skeletons.
At one point a male cardinal added a dash of color to the snow-covered trees.
One old tree that rests at a peculiar angle wore a girdle of green (ivy) and white. (The ivy has to go!)
If one must deal with snow, this is the kind I prefer!
