Fine Feathered Friends

Cardinal and Goldfinches at Feeder

Multiple birds at the feeder is a common sight in January. In addition to the cardinal and goldfinches, other birds including wrens, titmice, and chickadees frequent the feeders. Unlike the birds seen in the photo, the others are very flighty, sticking around only for moments, and seldom waiting long enough for me to pick up the camera, push the shutter, and then say “oh darn” because I hadn’t switched it on. I did manage once to get a shot of a departing titmouse, but it was a rather undesirable view from an angle unbefitting of such a cute little bird. Oh darn!

  1. Love to.see the birds come to the feeder.  It’s so cold here right now we’re seeing more than usual, puffed up to stay warm. Lots of dark eyed junkos, a variety of sparrows, starlings, etc.  Come spring the Goldfinches and Red Winged black birds will show up.  The RWB are a particular favorite for their song.  And I look forward to the return of the hummingbirds.  I’m so fascinated by this little bird.  Such a miracle of nature.  For now, we’re compelled to feed our littke winged friends working hard to stay warm.  DebbieSent via the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone
