Sorry, but I was unable to download a link to the article.

Almost two years here in the Philly area with snowfall over an inch.

Anyway, a Junco, a Titmouse, and a Cardinal grabbing a bite.

My mom always said that you could catch a Robin by putting salt on it's tails. There was a cartoon once where a kid did it. The Robin said what do you know it works why trying to fly away. Sometimes even with heavy snow on the ground a robin comes to the heated bird bath on the deck rail.

Yesterday afternoon, it seemed that every Robin in the county was around the old claypit where I have a deer stand. It is leased timber land, planted in pines and has all the natural vegetation growing between the planted pines. In our part of creation, there is a bush known as "Fire thorn" aka, Pyracantha, the woods are full of them and they are full of red berries this time of the year. The Robins were everywhere and so very loud with their combined voices. Wish I had a camera capable of filming some of the things I see in the woods.

Thanks, Steve, Floyd, and Mel.

Steve, I tried for a shot of a Cardinal in the snow this morning, but it didn't work out. Good job!

Thanks, Ike. We have a pair in the area. I see the male more often than the female, but she's around.

Hang in there! You'll get yer shot!!

Blue Jays were flocked up here for last few weeks but have left since we had a hard cold a few nights ago you will see them 10 miles south of here but they'll be back tearing up feeders by the end of March....

Nice photos, Homer. I especially like the Hairy Woodpecker.

Here is a Yellow Rumped Warbler gleaning the last of the berries off the Myrtle tree.

Great pic Mel.

I sure enjoy your feeder.

That could be taken a couple of different ways, but you don't strike me as a suet cake fan....

Excellent photo, Mel. I haven't seen any Y R for a couple of weeks.
