It’s been raining freezing rain most of the day; not a lot of birds. I’ve seen Juncos, a couple of Chickadees, a Titmouse, a very cold looking puffed-up male House finch, and this female Northern Cardinal who let me take some slightly out-of-focus pictures.

It’s going to turn to rain, probably, in a couple of hours, but we have a light snow falling. It’s the kind of snow they put on greeting cards; not too thick, not windy, just white snow falling steadily.
Naturally, when the Cardinal landed on the Rhododendron, I had to take a picture (through the window, on my iPhone). If it had a little more snow on the Rhoddodendron, and I had taken a slightly better picture, I’d have a holiday card.

Birds have been scarce today, as if they too were waiting for the storm. I’ve filled the feeders, spotted a few sparrows of unknown type, and these guys:
Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura). When I hear them call, I know it’s Spring.

I actually took male Northern Cardinal photo this yesterday.

Yes, it’s a terrible picture, but I had my phone so I went with it. The squirrel was, as always, attempting to raid the squirrel-proof feeder.
