| I smiled as I saw the cardinal and junco hiding under the eve of my neighbor's house to get shelter from the freezing rain this morning. |
 |
| I had spotted this little house finch earlier, just as the sleet and freezing rain were beginning. |
 |
| Look at the little ice crystals on the tail of this little tufted titmouse. He was taking shelter under a wider banner above him. |
 |
| The cardinals seemed to be waiting in line at the feeder for the finches to clear out. |
 |
| And finches there were! Is this a goldfinch in winter clothing, or a pine siskin finch? |
 |
| The feeder was "aflutter" with them! |
I love the verse from Matthew 6:26 that says:
"Look at the birds.
They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns,
for your heavenly Father feeds them.
And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are?"
I guess God was using me just a little bit to help take care of His creatures.
He probably didn't need my help,
but I certainly enjoyed the show!

Thanks so much for these pictures! I love that verse, such a beautiful reminder of God's loving care for us <3 Have a lovely weekend!

Great photos. I live in the tropics and its very hard to understand how ANYTHING can live in all that snow and cold :-)
Poor little things. WE are in the middle of an ice storm at the moment and the birds are sheltering in the cedar trees.
It's hard to believe they don't freeze! Especially with ice on their tails.
Amazing how the birds survive all that cold.
It is amazing that these little birds can survive in the cold freezing weather. You have a great variety at your feeders. Have a happy day!
Lovely serie of photos. A bird feeder makes it easy for the birds!
Nice set of yard birds - it does look a little colder there than here!

Brrrrr!!! [Love the cardinal hidden and protected under the eave]
Great activity despite the ice. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
fantastic shots of the birds -- birdsong is getting a little bit louder each morning around here, so I know we are getting closer to spring...ice storm pix above are amazing (the window shot is wonderful).
Awe a very nice selection of birds and their beauty. Whenever Winter arrives, I keep a table umbrella open and then hand sprinkle bird seed under it also, that way if snow falls, or if ice forms, the birds take shelter and eat from under the umbrella;')~
