This past week has been a crazy ride weather-wise. This is what was outside my front door last week at this time….
It may have stopped us in our tracks but by the next day….
These troopers were lurking….with their sights on the feeders.
….and then she was alone but not for long.
A saucy little wren made an appearance.

And took over the joint!
And took over the joint!
With very few food sources, that’s how it went for the rest of the day. In & out. Back & forth.
Here a Titmouse waits patiently for the Mourning Dove to finish. How polite!
Over the course of the next few days I cleared the deck to get access to the feeders to refill them. Now here’s the kicker…… exactly one week later, the temps have been hovering around 60 degrees for the past 3 days! When it comes to weather, New England is a crazy place.
Same view!
The birds don’t seem affected one way or another.
Even when the garden is not alive ‘n kicking, we are still blessed by nature.
I hope you are blessed with wonderful things in 2011!
Happy New Year!

I'm so grateful for my feathered friends, especially when there's nothing else going on in the garden and it's going to stay that way for months on end!
There is a wren that makes her home in a birdhouse in my secret garden every year, and she intimidates the heck out of me every time I go in there!
Such beautiful photos. That is a snow for sure. Your little feathered friends are well cared for and look very satisfied :)
Happy New Year to you Maureen!!!

Your pictures are terrific!
We got a bird feeder for Christmas from one of our nieces. Gotta figure out a place safe from the kitties but where we can watch.

No one else may have been happy with this weather, but little birds enjoyed it. Cute post.
It been crazy here in Mn. as well. I really enjoyed this winter bird collection and the New Year post as well. Two feet of snow and very cold find the little birdies swarming my feeders.
