Visiting us today were goldfinches, chickadees, titmice, many male and female cardinals, small woodpecker (loves the large seed block in a cage), thrush, 3 jays, female and male towhees, our mockingbird who keeps everyone in line, and lots of tiny beautiful birds in browns and grays. Couldn't make pictures, no camera. These feathered friends are with us all year in varying numbers. Early this morning, there were many animal tracks of varying sizes and track patterns in the snow. Have suspected deer are visiting at night, and have seen squirrels, possums, raccoons, chipmunks. Humans are encroaching on their habitat, leaving them to forage for food in dangerous places like "town." Beautiful photography!

They get used to you being close after awhile... The trick is, you gotta have a regular feeder setup right outside your window. They get used to you being close after awhile…
