The birds must be hungry. There is a flurry of activity outside our front window. I did sprinkle some handfuls of birdseed on the snow earlier in the morning. I have seen many mourning doves and slate covered junco feeding on the ground.
We are getting a steady stream of downy woodpeckers feeding on the suet placed by the trunk of the large pine tree. I am still waiting for the entrance of the red bellied woodpecker. I am always awed by its sight.
There are usually a few tufted titmouse at one time coming to and fro the feeder just outside the window. They like the sunflower seed I put out for them. Once in awhile I see a chickadee or a cardinal. I love watching them.
Maybe, today I will see an unusual species. You never know. Today I will have more time to watch the birds. It is snowing and there is no where else to go.
