Feathered Friends and the First Snow of 2022

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay

My, oh, my, what a wonderful day.

This little guy is just hopping along the deck enjoying the morning.

How beautiful to wake up to falling snow this morning. This is our first snow of the new year here in Western Kentucky. What a beautiful sight!




Seeing the birds at my feeders makes me thankful I had purchased a couple new ones and filled them before this snowfall.




We had a huge drop in temperature too! Yesterday the high was 62 degrees and today the high is 35 degrees. Right now, it 30 and feels like 21 with the wind. 




I like to think the birds appreciate the feeders and the seeds. This feeder is filled with safflower seeds which the squirrels don't like to eat.  Hope you have filled your feeders!

Other birds at the feeders and in the trees. The chickadee and the male Downy Woodpecker are frequent visitors. 





Thanks for stopping in for Feathered Friends and the First Snow of 2022. 

Let me know what's going on at your feeders or in your trees - Judy.

  2. Judy - I miss Cardinals so much! The colors, the perky little caps on their heads! Out here in Montana, we have a zillion Mountain Chickadees and Black-capped Chickadees, Downy Woodpeckers, Hairy Woodpeckers, Nothern Flickers, Canada Jays, White-breasted Nuthatches and Red-breasted Nuthatches. It's like Grand Central Station at our feeders every day! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!

  3. They sure are beautiful with a snowy background! It's not cold here but we have lots of birds in the feeders this morning...House finches, bluebirds, chickadees, warblers and a wren on the ground. Happy New year!

  9. Thanks for dropping by my blog, Judy. Wonderful series of images here. Birds bring a whole lot of joy to life, at very little cost, and they are are always there to entertain and delight. It doesn't get any better than that.
