Icy Does It!

Yesterday morning was a very frigid one for our side of Georgia. This part of Georgia usually has a mild winter as well as a glorious autumn but this year we’ve been hit with the Arctic Vortex temperatures a few times bringing the below freezing temperatures.

When I first looked out the window i could see the crystalline frost covering everything and saw a little bird sitting on an empty clay saucer that I use as feeder, my first thought was that the bird was frozen or stuck to the saucer I shot some pictures of this. Of course I was wrong, he was just sitting in wait for me to give them breakfast! The sun rays were breaking through the tall pines and the light was creating a good mood for some pictures. I was ready to take some cold air, it was worth it!

I liked all the photos today, HJ, and seeing the photo with all the feeders was good evidence that you have a LOT of mouths to feed! 😀

I liked the 4th image of the field sparrow best, he looked so cross I thought!

Great shots HJ. It’s been fairly mild here, and the birds have barely used the feeders so far this year. Too many berries and bugs I think, but good for our little friends.
