We have had a week of snow with about two feet of accumulation. This has meant a lot of shoveling, work and school cancellations, as well as, doing a Second Look from the kitchen window. That means, it was a week of enjoying birds.
Here are some things I saw this week during a Second Look.
 |
| Sometimes the view looked like this as snow changed to periods of sleet and freezing rain. |

| Other times, the sky was blue and sun was shining. |
 |
| The white breasted nuthatch spent most of its time at the suet. |

| White breasted nuthatches are known for having strong feet. I guess I can see that in this and the previous picture. |
 |
| The downy woodpecker preferred to be alone at the feeder. |
 |
| The juncos were happy to eat the feeder discards. |
 |
| The starlings showed up at the feeder for the first time this winter. They are known to be aggressive birds that some don't like. However, so far they were behaving themselves. |
The heron is an awesome addition to your landscape! Goodness!
ReplyDeleteI actually saw the heron on a walk with my sister recently. It was in the area, but not in my yard.
DeleteYou've had a good amount of snow! Your back yard is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWe are enjoying sun and temps above freezing today! It will soon change so I'm soaking it up while I can.
We have had a couple days with temperatures above freezing. Spring really is trying to come. Hope you had fun soaking up the warmer weather.
DeleteReally pretty! You have an eye for beauty!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to go wrong with white snow and a blue sky.
Deletelove the white breasted nut hatch! Do you know the names of all the birds that come to your feeders?
