After weeks of unseasonably warm weather and what looked like a very early spring, temperatures plummeted and we got an inch or so of snow this weekend. Although I was used to working out in the yard in 60-70 degree weather, I still got out and did a lot this past weekend...but what I want to share now are some of the photographs I got of birds in the snow. Something that seemed to be lacking most of the winter.
I was thrilled to be out with camera in hand, and take shot after shot of the small flock of goldfinches perched in the largest dogwood in our front yard. This dogwood has served me well (and wildlife well also)...I still recall fondly the various species that came in the fall for the berries. What attracted the goldfinches here was many handy perches as they came for the black oil sunflower seeds I'd put out.
