Cold Wind and Low Temperature

We had a 28° F temperature at 8:30 in the morning and has been in the low 30s all morning and part of the afternoon. It wasn’t a gray day but hazy in part. I had a large group of Mourning Doves eating from all the feeders and some Carolina Chickadee picking sunflowers seeds back and forth, Northern Cardinals were there too and House Finches here and there getting their share of seeds. That’s about all I had in my backyard. I have some pictures for this post.
