After being very cold and icy yesterday morning about 29 degrees, suddenly we got sunshine and temperature improved into a slightly warm, no breeze 60s. 🙂

I went out to my backyard and refilled my feeders with fresh seeds and later I could see through my kitchen’s window some birds flying around but not many. I didn’t want to interrupt them by attempting to shoot pictures, I just limited myself to observe their flying back and forth. I saw some Cardinals male and female, a couple of Towhees, a Tufted Titmouse and some that I believe are song sparrows hopping around on the ground, it was hard to see without help of binoculars.

It felt good to be in my backyard again!

I have some photos from my archives for you today.
