There were more than half a dozen Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers out this morning, all desperate for food. They even put a moratorium on territory fighting.
We got slammed with another blizzard, and are buried. We’ll be stuck a day or two.
From my studio window. Normally, you’d be able to see the large thicket of wood which shelters animals and birds.
From my studio window, towards the street.
Front deck. I don’t wanna go out there. Birds are giving me pitiable looks. Okay, okay.
Opening the front door. Oh man. Not fun.
Sinking in snow up to your upper thighs – not fun. Sigh.

Greenfinches from Charly:
When the birds finally stood still, the wind moved the whole tree. The females seemed more cautious and and even less likely to pose for a picture than males. Overall are these little buggers restless and they come by only for a short time every day in a flock of ~10 individuals.
Beautiful little dinosaurs! Click for full size.
