Birds and More

The birds are busy in my world. 

Here are a few pictures taken through my kitchen window.Seems that may be my best choice for winter bird photos.

 I always get a kick out the upside-down habits of the White-breasted Nuthatch.

They look so sure-footed as they make their way down the tree head first.

A male Hairy Woodpecker is  waiting to get to the suet,which is at the base of this tree.

These birds seem very skittish and will fly away at the slightest movement.

I still have several Dark-eyed Juncos visiting the feeders daily.

I like these guys in their sophisticated dark suits. 

I have to add a couple of other pictures. Here is one more of some of the hoarfrost we had recently.

Someone asked what Hoarfrost is. I will not go into the scientific details,but it forms when the atmospheric conditions are just right. What I know,beyond a shadow of a doubt is,it creates a world of beauty overnight.

Here is just one little ornament on my tree.I bought this one for Jake many years ago,because he was a model railroader.Now I hang it in memory of him.

Thought for today:

In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.
