haha, that's cute! I was trying to get a decent picture of all the Cardinals in the tree today but the pergola and the deck railing are always in the way. They were beautiful against the snow. 12 of them... again!
I had twelve, too! 6 couples! I got some photos of the whole tree, but they aren't that great. It was more fun to see them in person...and you're right, they really did glow out there!
I knew that bird, so I know what really happened, which was this. The other birds were always picking on him, and one of them had just hit him in the beak with a snowball. He was looking down at the time, and when the photo was made, he had just looked up to see who had thrown the snowball. As usual, the other birds were all feigning innocence, so he never did know the identity of the culprit He did realize, however, that it could have been any of them. He has since left my life, and the last I heard of him, he was still in therapy and had been involuntarily committed twice.
haha...oh, now that is a much more interesting story than I had. Poor little bird! So there is bullying even among our feathered friends? I'll have to teach them the rules of my yard! :)
hahaha what a capture...fun picture...we are covered in snow right now ourselves....made it home from school though with only a bit of fright at the roads...been out playing and my beard might have looked similar at some point...
Very cool, Betsy...we had a ton of birds this morning...must be the nice coating of snow we got yesterday and into the evening...made everything look beautiful again!!!
Too cute.
ReplyDeleteI let Jasmine outside today and she fell face first in the snow. She was wearing a beard too.
I didn't go out at all today! We got 4 inches of fresh snow just this afternoon!
DeleteNice picture Betsy:)
