Two Dark-eyed Juncos and an American Goldfinch share a branch during last week’s snowstorm.  They were frequenting the feeding station nearby that was filled with sunflower seeds, wild bird food, and suet, so they were quite content, despite the less than optimal weather conditions.

It was the day of the big snowstorm last week and I made sure to fill the feeders so that the birds, deer, squirrels and other critters would have something to eat.  I went outside with my camera during the storm to photograph the birds and this little sparrow caught my eye.  He wasn’t the least bit timid and was not more than a few feet away from me while digging in the snow to find seeds (see his little beak covered with snow?).  There was a pile of snow in front of the garage where it had drifted and he was hiding behind the pile and every so often would pop his head up and look at me to say hello.  It was so darn cute!
