Color of Winter

When everyone else took shelter due to freezing temperatures and a weak attempt at a snow storm, the birds were out in numbers. The majestic male cardinals looked remarkable against the grey skies. We had as many as five male cardinals, two female cardinals, a bluejay or two, a few wrens and bluebirds and quite a few chickadees. I'm sure they thought it would be warmer down south, but not this week. They must be hungry because we have had to fill up the bird feeder every day.
