Mrs. Cardinal ...

Please notice that several birds were on the bird bath.  The birds need water in the winter.  Yes, they can eat snow, but it brings down their body temperature and their survival in cold weather depends on their being able to keep their body temperature up.  So if you haven't already ... invest in a heated water source for your birds :)

Happy Wild Bird Wednesday!

For a change of pace I am switching from the Cranes to the house sparrows having a delightful bath in my bird bath this week.  I will get back to the Cranes next week.  I took these pictures through, what is now, a not so clean window, so the quality is lacking, but the fun is not ... Enjoy!
