It has remained bitterly cold through the middle part of February this year with a few dustings of snow. Its been too cold for any beehive activity, but my bird feeder has been very busy. Here a male cardinal picks up seeds dropped from the feeder. A female purple finch is in front of him.
Here he shares his profile.
A female cardinal sits in a young dogwood tree near the base of the feeder.
A goldfinch in his winter plumage sits on the dogwood waiting for his turn at the feeder.
A flock of goldfinches works the ground under the feeders with a few juncos mixed in. At times, the feeders seemed mobbed with these little finches with more than 50 at a time.
A male purple finch sits in the dogwood.
Another male purple finch sits on the feeder, with a female behind him.
A downy woodpecker checks out some suet on the end of the feeder.
