SNOW, FORSYTHIA AND A PLETHORA OF BIRDS

It was snowing while Blake and I were on our walk, but look at what we saw!!!

 A sure sign of spring, right!

The back bird feeding area is right outside the window and is very distracting as I am trying to work...  I look up from the computer and there is a Carolina wren.  Gotta switch glasses, grab the binocs and take a look.  It is so cute!  The Carolina is the first bird we hear in the morning right now - he sits on the porch and claims his territory!

So this morning I saw, goldfinch (quite a few!) and the males are turning yellow, a lone robin trying to find something satisfying, the male of our cardinal pair, the Carolina wren, a male bluebird, 3 blue jays, quite a few juncos, 3 mourning doves, a pair of nuthatches, a pair of chickadees, a male & a female downy woodpecker, a red-bellied woodpecker, and a pair of tufted titmice.  I can also see the pond from here and there was a male common merganser.  Busy place at that moment!
