This and That

The birds were busy at the feeders all day yesterday. They'd heard the weather report of the snowstorm coming.

I have two of these barrel squirrel proof feeders now and for some reason this one, the newest and in a new location is more popular than the old one. Is it because of its newness?

My camera does not have the best telephoto capabilities but here is the male cardinal as close as I could get to him.

This morning we woke to 3 inches of snow. It's a lovely sight. Here's sunrise through the trees overlooking the frozen pond.


Finally, I decided it was time for a color change. I've been wanting borders around my photos and to do that I went to a new template and while I was at it went to a new color scheme.

P.S. Check out World Bird Wednesday

    I love the new blog design! Good choice!
    You have a lot of nice birds in the garden. I think that photos are very good, considering that those birds are so difficult to photograph.

    I agree that birds seem to know when bad weather is coming. The snow looks beautiful - but I'm sure it's cold!

    You have a wonderful collection of feeders! I think your yard got a make over too with the snow fall. It looks very peaceful there!

    That red stands out in the snow, doesn't it just.

    I have yet to find a feeder that the squirrels can't ruin.

    Lucky you--SNOW! I'm so jealous!

    Enjoyed your pictures!

    Nice shots of the Cardinals Marcia and the photo of the trees and the snow covered landscape is beautiful!
