Wild Bird Wednesday

It continues to be subzero weather here and it is impossible to get out to get pictures in these temperatures without running the risk of frost bite ... both myself and my camera.  So I pulled up some cold birds on another cold day so you could get the gist of what it is like here.  Winter has the tendency to make one a pessimist ... so now I am thinking, if our winter is this bad, what is our summer going to be like?  I don't even want to think about it :(

House Sparrows ...

Junco ...

Chipping Sparrow ...

Wishing you all some moderate weather ... today and in the future:)

Happy WBW!

Wild Bird Wednesday

 Brave Little Souls ...

It has reached - 18 two nights in a row and has stayed in the minuses for two days.  These little birds have worked very hard to survive doing everything they know how to do to keep warm.  They are my little heroes because I can only stay out a few minutes before I know it is dangerously cold and they just endure.

Today the temperature is to get above zero, albeit only 5 degrees it will still feel warm.  I pray that all of Natures Creatures are able to survive such an onslaught.  I am putting my feed out at night so it will be there as soon as they get up in the morning ... I hope that helps them.  This morning I have seen the Coopers Hawk and the Red Tail out hunting ... I have ambivalent feelings about them being around my feeders, but they too need to survive.  This is hard!

Stay Warm Folks ... Happy (BRRRRR) WBW!
