The birds in our yard

We didn't get much snow but it did cover the ground and made things bright .
The Bennie has been out feeding the birds

Beautiful harbingers of spring. I bet they love Bennie. Have a great day.

I think the Towhee's are just so pretty. I have only spotted two this winter. Too many stray cats around here now.

The birds have eaten an entire bird feeder full since early this morning, the Starlings take them over....
Love your pictures, especially the male Red Cardinal, so sweet.
Stay warm !

I love these birds. I can actually recognize both the Cardinal and the Towhee's calls. You and Bennie stay warm and enjoy the birds this afternoon.

We have seen a few Rufous-sided Towhees here but they don't come every year so they are always a treat to see. I haven't seen any this winter.

That's sweet he has not forgotten the birds. They definitely need a little help in this weather. Very, very pretty pictures.

The little orange bird is beautiful! Sorry I don't know its name - we don't get anything this in our garden!

I love my feathered friends, they bring me so much pleasure. we finally ended up with 6 inches of snow and had it capped off with ice,and that is not good. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs, Sue

The fact that we have 6 feeders of different seeds and two suet feeders may give off a indication that we love our birdies lol !
