Title: Thankfully they still came
Post by: Dinusaur on December 22, 2013, 12:03:08 PM

Yesterday the backyard was quite busy despite the freezing rain; the visitors' presence added some color to an otherwise dull day. Today it appears to be quieter; may be with more freezing rain it has become difficult for them to sit on a bare branch.

I am envious; I have not seen any finches whatsoever in months.  I keep an assortment of feeders and my yard backs onto a creek and has lots of trees - no fair!
