After the storm.

avatar

We received the biggest snowfall that we have had yet this winter in southern Wisconsin yesterday. It is still cloudy and overcast today and not exactly picture taking weather, but the birds are active after the storm and I wanted to take a few pictures for @nelinoeva and the- Feathered Friends SMaP contest

Round 103 for the Show Me A Picture of a Bird contest is a free theme this week, so any bird photo can be entered.

junco

Hairy woodpecker

blue jay

goldfinches and a junco at the nijer thistle seed feeder

male Hairy Woodpecker and a bit of fresh bark damage

Healthy trees can withstand the minor damage woodpeckers cause.

All photos in this post were taken in my backyard within 5 minutes of each other.

What birds do you see as you go about your day?

I do not know names but I do see owls late in the evening and crows during the day. Some palm doves do feast with my chicken and their fight disturbs me a lot.

You have captured beautiful images, thanks for gracing our eyes with this beauty.

To know that there is still a lot of animals are still active in that cold condition is so amazing.
How cold is in your area at the moment, the snow looks so thick.

Snow looks great. Looks like the birds (and squirrels) are appreciating the feeder 🙂

Great selection of different birds! And a cute squirrel standing in the snow, so modestly put her paws on her chest.☺️

Loving seeing the bird flying and singing in the morning time, they show us how beautiful the nature is. Humans who don't get up early in the morning miss this charming time of the day. I love the colorful bird you have captured in this post.

We received the biggest snowfall that we have had yet this winter in southern Wisconsin yesterday.

Yesterday our weather was also cloudy, but there was no snow. Today is also mostly cloudy with a little sunshine.

What birds do you see as you go about your day?

My Harris's hawk. Currently she is on my arm. Unfortunately nowadays she is not in good condition. Hopefully she will get well as soon as possible. I follow the vet's advices/recommendations. The vet will not be in the bird hospital in this week, but somehow I will take my bird there in the near future (consultations are needed, both with the vet, and with other people too, about the car transport).

Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.

Look how they puff. 🙂
This is real winter, so much snow. Brrr.
The squirrel is so cute, poor bugger looks a bit miserable.

Truth be told, I more often hear them than see them.

You found plenty though! Your yard must be quite big :)
