What’s Up? – Back to…Winter?
Back to… Winter?
(Written on March 9, 2018)
Alas! We’re back to the cold weather. The North East of USA is being buried in snow at this time. Meanwhile us in the South East have a frigid wave that it’s getting ridiculous because we had already Spring like temperatures and blooming plants.
This morning at 7:00 we had 23º F (-5 Cº) and frost all over.
Back to the heavy coats too!
When it is very cold, most of my birds usually remain sheltered in their nests and wait for the sun to bring up the temperatures. My plans to shoot some pictures get very complicated because I can not be there at all times just waiting for them. I’m always trying to compromise to that effect and make changes to my activities, but sometimes it’s hard. We can only try…

Gosh wish the weather would make its mind up! They’re all so lovely but the bluebird especially!
Thank you Arbie. Yes, I wish it would! 🙂
Sembra che questi graziosi esemplari, non abbiano risentito del calo delle temperature….
Un saluto,silvia
Nonostante la temperatura, devono mangiare tutti i giorni … Grazie, Silvia. 🙂
Wonderful variety, HJ! 🙂
Thank you Donna! They are my local birds. 🙂
March weather is so unpredictable. Great to see you’re keeping so many different bird species happy and fed during the cold sweep, HJ. Wonderful photos.
You’re on the money about the weather! My local birds relay on my feeders being filled daily… I oblige! Thank you my friend. 🙂
A great gallery of photographs despite the unhelpful weather.
I do what I can Susan. Thank you. 🙂
I am really sorry about your weather. It has been a poor winter all round.
Yes, I have to agree with you Tom/ Let’s hope that next year gets better. 🙂
Beautiful gallery, H.J.! We have been cold too, although only in the 40s and 50s, but the cold wind from north makes it feel really cold for Florida. February was mostly warm, in the 70s and we have everything blooming as well…what a year!
Yes, I always keep an eye on Florida weather and i have a cousin that lives in Sarasota and we talk about it almost every week. Nothing we can do… only pay gas and electric bill for top dollars! Thank you for sharing dear Tiny. 🙂
