I was surprised any of the stores were open yesterday but a few brave souls were in. We went to Tom's after to get bread and milk and I got extra bread for the birds. The Starlings like bread and the Blue Jays like the peanuts.
People chase the Starlings away, they have such a voracious appetite. They have to eat too so I feed them, I also chase them off just like the Squirrels when they over do it. Unfortunately they keep the small birds away.
Everyone is hungry. The Mourning Doves are not afraid of anyone and hold their ground.
Yesterday there were 3 of the Yellow Bellied Sap Suckers. It took a few whacks at the Starlings, it was not about to give up its spot at the feeder.
Today I went to the bathroom where I take my pictures just in time to see a Pileated Woodpecker at the feeder.
What a surprise that was, I backed up and grabbed the camera.
The snow gets deeper by the day.
The garage door is always open to any who need it and the windows have broken panes in them.
The pond provides drinking water.
This guy looks cold
Pretty sculptures in the snow
The trees look so beautiful with a layer of brilliant white against the blue of the sky. I also love it against a grey stormy but sunny sky.
I was going to close this blog down but have decided against it. Too much of the same for one blog. I love to take pictures of the birds and so it would get boring with the same thing every day. So I will just accept the fact that sometimes one or other of the blogs will not be getting my full attention.
I am enjoying the snow this year after such a hot and humid summer but I am planning on what I want to do come Spring. That's it for today
