Cleaning up the kitchen after lunch, my eye was arrested by the sight of a lonely bluebird huddled on top of the nesting box in falling snow.
The temperature was 18 degrees, and I could only imagine that, despite his fluffed out feathers, the little fellow was feeling a bit cold. Grabbing my camera, I snapped his picture, then soon discovered he wasn’t the only wind-blown bird in the backyard. At least one other bluebird, a downy woodpecker, and a robin were nearby. (Click to enlarge pictures.)
I’m looking forward to spring when sunshine and warm breezes will waft away the cold and snow. I have a feeling my feathered friends are just as eager for a change in the weather. How about you?
Thanks for visiting today. See you soon.

I’m complaining about a turn in our weather, it’s 40 degrees this morning and you’re still getting snow!! Like that Bluebird!!

Thanks, Camille. Complaining is permissible but probably not helpful except in allowing us to let off steam.

That poor wee soul – you have captured the snow falling down on him and he is looking so sad isn’t he? I feel sorry for all the feathered and furry critters – it’s been so bitter cold and the ground is frozen, so I hope the squirrels stored some of their nuts up in their nests.

Yes, he does look a bit forlorn. I felt sorry for him.

I do too for all the outside critters. I was at the River last Sunday and saw all the ducks on the ice floes … they were sitting on ice, swimming in ice water – I know their feathers equip them to stay dry but it was so miserably cold out there
