At the feeder...

It is bitter cold here...did not even get in the teens today.  The birds were busy....
They would all flock in...and all flee at the same time.
Not going overboard with photos...will post a few more another day.

All of these have been cropped and played with.  They were taken through my dining room window.

It has been an odd sort of day.  The wind has blew all would blow the snow sideways.  And act like a regular blizzard was setting in.  Then in two or three or four minutes, the sun would pop out, there would be vivid blue skies, with big puffy clouds.  I am sure to the north and west was probably clouds...but this window faces south.

Then the sun would disappear and we would have blizzard type weather again.  But only for the very few minutes.  Then back to the sunshine and blue skies.  I don't know how many times it did that but all evening.  I think it stayed sunny just a bit longer than it was blizzard type weather.
