My Feathered Friends

It’s been a long, cold winter, not only for humans, but for wildlife as well.  The ground has been snow covered for months and food is likely scarce. I’ve been filling my feeders with sunflower and wild bird seed, corn, and suet.  Not only do the birds love it, but so do the squirrels, deer, and a raccoon or two!  The deer are especially hungry.  They visit my feeders nightly and look in the window to find me if they are empty.  When seeds are scarce, they take to eating any green vegetation that they can find.  My Yew and holly bushes are nearly devoid of foliage.  I hope they survive.  Over the weekend, I spent a little time photographing birds at the feeders.  This is a Tufted Titmouse perched on one of the remaining branches of the Yew bush that is green.  Such a pretty little bird!
