Saturday Snowfall

Yesterday I heard that we were supposed to have snow during the night and through most of the day, so I hurried outside and filled the bird feeders. When I got up this morning, we had snow on the ground and birds at the feeders.
Blue Jay

The goldfinches were hopping around, taking turns at the feeders.

I took these pictures through a window using a zoom lens. The bird on the railing is a junco.


The snow did not accumulate on the roads so we felt safe going out to Strasburg for their holiday homes tour. Critters included a nice dog plus some decor items.

  4. First....LOVE that hippo!

    Snow? We got snow in South Texas this week, along the coast. First time since 2004. I posted a lot of photos of the snow on my personal blog...it was pretty while it lasted, tho, I don't like driving in that weather at all. Come see if you get a chance. http://hootin--anni.blogspot.com

  6. The birds are lucky to have you taking care of them. They do make a bright colored contrast against the white. B ut I hope it doesn't last too long for you and for them..
