Oh, WOW!! That is COLD indeed, Karen!! Such beautiful captures of your colorful birds -- I do hope they have on their "long underwear feathers"!! Stay warm!!
Too cold for me to even imagine, it, the coldest day ever in NZ was in 1903, at -25.6 Celsius, a record!!! Those feathers must fluff up and make very good insulation, super shots as always. Keep your feathers fluffed, and a warm hat as well!!! Greetings to all, Jean.
The birds don't seem to mind the extreme cold, but then if they didn't seek out food they probably would not survive. It has been getting windier as the day goes on and we are under extreme wind chill alert and snow squall warning.
Good that they have food. I am finding that I am having muscle spasms more with this very cold weather which makes life a little more challenging.. Stay warm...Michelle
I just love the way the males sport the bright red. Gotta keep those females coming. We have had wee Downys and regular sized ones this winter and then today we caught “Woody” eating out post. These fours captures are wonderful and so helpful to newbies like myself. I can look at all the detail...so much easier to see than in the book.
These are beautiful, Karen, especially the male cardinal. We were at -20F this morning. It looks like one more day of this and then we may get a break.
Please feel free to leave a comment, and hey, why not follow my blog too. I can't respond to every comment, but I will return the favour and visit your blog. I have turned off word verification, but it randomly shows up, that's a BLOGGER glitch.

ReplyDeleteKaren, that is soooo cold! The birds sure don't seem to mind it, but I bet they would if it were not for the banquet you provide.
ReplyDeleteEach of your photos gives me an added appreciation of the beauty of nature. I just wish that nature wasn't also so cold sometimes.
ReplyDeletePrecious couples! How do they survive though? Dang, that is some frigid cold!
ReplyDeletebeautiful winter birds!

ReplyDeleteThe snow makes a wonderful backdrop for these colorful visitors!
ReplyDeleteI just love these shots Karen, but those temps, I start to shiver each time I visit your site at the mo.
