It really is the winter that won't end. We have been vacillating between 70 degree beautiful days and snow storms. Yesterday, it was sunny, windy and 70 degrees. Today it is snowing. We had about 14 to 15" of snow last week. Great to have the moisture, but enough! The birds have been slow to start migration. Happily, we have lots of beautiful resident birds to watch. The first bird is our resident Sharp Shinned Hawk. He uses the bird feeders like a fast food drive through.
Here is a nice shot Dave got of the moon setting a couple of weeks ago.
And a photo of the ubiquitous Red-Shafted Northern Flicker. I love these birds.
A Junco. Some call these Snow Birds for obvious reasons.
About a week ago, we were thrilled to have flocks of Mountain Bluebirds on our street! They and their relative Thush - Robins - were busy eating berries. Really beautiful!
Mmmmm. Berry!
A very Audubon-esque photo of an American Robin. Love it!

Finally, we found this little Red Fox sleeping in our front yard on a recent afternoon. Cute, but poor thing had some mange. Hope he is doing okay.Free Blog Counter
