With twelve inches of snow falling softly and blanketing my world in fluffy white, my birdfeeders were busier than they have ever been.
This sweet Robin came to feed on snow covered seeds. I was fortunate enough to capture him with my smartphone. Robin's don't seem to migrate away from our area any longer.
My visitors were doves, titmice, chickadees, cardinals, bluejays, sparrows, wrens, finches, cowbird, starling, woodpecker, flicker, and a robin.
I cleared my feeders of snow covering throughout the day so the birds could find nourishment. It's our agreement. I supply the seeds, nuts and suet and the birds will allow me to marvel at their beauty. I feel that I am getting the best end of the agreement.
One of my favorite birds is the Flicker which are one of the most beautifully feathered birds with spots on their breast, a red V on the back of the neck and bright yellow on the underside of their tail. He came to enjoy the peanut suet feeder throughout the day.

Your posts are like a sanctuary of calm on a blustery day. Thanks for inviting us to your world of beauty and creativity.
Love the pics Julie! Glad you are keeping those birdies fed, they need it so much. Love your beautiful rings. Stay warm my friend. xo Riki
Julie, your rings are fabulous! I love that opal-especially the second one that looks like it had plants in it. Very pretty. The idea of custom boxes is intriguing too.
I had to stop feeding the birds, as they committed suicide on my windows. I hope to live in a place where I can feed them safely in the woods. Speaking of good books, I really enjoyed that one! I've been reading so many books since knee surgery, and just finished the Help. It is even better than the movie was. Enjoy!
