On Saturday the 21st we had a small snow storm here. In the morning a flock of 10 Cardinals were gathered in my backyard trees and bushes and at the feeders. Cardinals do not normally flock and this is the most I have ever seen here in my yard! Still with all the usual birds, I kept hoping the storm would bring a Carolina Wren to my yard. I have not seen one yet this year, and though I watched and watched all day long, no wren appeared. But then the next day as I was looking out the window I saw one on the suet in the backyard! Yeah! Species Number 59 for my Big January 2012 Bird List! Seeing the wren prompted me to get my camera out and though I saw the little wren several times throughout the day, I never did get its picture. However, here are a few of the birds I saw though my double pane kitchen windows! Enjoy!
What…? I thought you said you did not get a photo of the wren, Kathie. No, I did not. This is a picture taken Last Year and almost to the same day! I’m sure glad it finally showed up. I just wish I could have gotten a new picture! You can see even more birds at…
How gorgeous Kathie! The expression on the cardinal is priceless and the Carolina wren is just the cutest and seems to be thanking you for the treats.
