A Cold Bird On A Cold Winter Day

With the coldest winter weather blowing in here in years and a low of below 20 degrees for two nights in a row, I worry about what I call the “usual suspects,” the birds making their year around home in the back yard. The water in the bird baths was frozen this morning, so I poured hot water in them to make sure these cute little buggers had water to drink in addition to the bird feed in the feeders to eat. This is may be a Carolina chickadee or a white-breasted nuthatch or a white-breasted Siberian tweety bird, for all the experts know, huddling on the sunny side of a tree.
