last day of winter?

Poor cats, the snow is way too deep for them to get around.  Sam spends a big part of his day on the kitchen counter (only at times like this is that kind of behavior overlooked) watching the birds.  If it weren’t for nearly 4 1/2 ft. of snow under the feeder, I would wash the window.  Every time I look at this picture, I count more birds.

  1. They’ve been raiding our feeder too. I think the spring sources were covered up acutely. Funny how that happens.
    LOTS of juncos. A VERY RED cardinal, the usual chickadees, sparrows, nuthatches, titmice.

  2. That picture is awesome! I love it!

  3. Poor Sam ! Just looking, no catching !

  4. maybe at 8:07 tonight the white stuff will start to melt….

  5. 15!!@!
    Pumpkin runs to the front window and watches the birds “play” in the tree/bush thing in front of the house. Then she paws the window and meows. When it’s nicer out, we leave that window open (screen is in) and she can meow at the birds!

  6. So much for spring – over a metre of snow still! If you can send the meltwater to us ๐Ÿ˜‰
    Nifty birds! I don’t know the NE birds…
    What do the birds do in winter? Do they hibernate or what?

  7. Lovely! All I have at the feeders now are house finches who prepare to nest around the house. Looks like the English sparrows pretty much all froze/starved during the winter. I am winding the Mtn Spring sock yarn as I type. It isn’t the easiest method.

  8. I’ve got 14 if all the reflections inside the feeder count and one bird and the one on the roost is another.

  9. I LOVE that picture. They look as if they’re saying “Could you please lay out some more seed?”
