Birds

Today I am grateful for the frenzy of birds that greeted me this morning. Although the thermometer showed it was in the 30's, I braved the deck for my morning coffee after filling the bird feeder. Mountain and black capped chickadees descended instantly, while pygmy nuthatches by the dozen waited in the ponderosa pines. Stellar's jays and hairy woodpeckers tried to get a few of those tasty sunflowers, while a fat little chipmunk sat below the feeder vacuuming up any spilled seeds.
