Yard Birds in Snow Storm:

The backyard feeders were very active during the snow storm yesterday. A White-breasted Nuthatch scans for danger as the Cooper's Hawk occasionally patrols our yard.

We put our Christmas Tree in the backyard near the feeders to provide additional shelter for the birds.

The Northern Cardinal is one of the most common bird species to visit our feeders.

A Tufted Titmouse made a brief appearance.

We are lucky to have them in our area!

Dark-eyed Juncos are also regular customers!

While shoveling our driveway, the 3 Wild Turkey hens stopped to supervise. I think they wanted to walk up the drive way to access the backyard feeder, but I was blocking their way.

I am very happy to enjoy today's sunshine along 

with our feeder friends, including this Carolina Wren!
