We've had quite a few lovely days, and with the last of the previous snow we had lots of birds. I don't know where they are now. We don't even have penguins! LOL Here are a few of the species we have seen in our world:

Love the redpolls, and of gourse all of the birds. It's about 68 F here. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Snow can look pretty for only so long. Parts of Vancouver actually had a bit more snowfall today. With all this foul weather, Kay, I think we are all going to have to move to Winnipeg where they are enjoying unusually warm spring weather. :))
I love the little birdies, pecking in the snow :)
Great photos of all the birds. I wonder where they go in bad snow storms like you have described! I hope spring comes soon for you.
Great captures and I love your birds! It does look cold! Hope it doesn't last too long! I am SO ready for spring! Have a good week! Stay warm!

Love your shots! Guess what? I took more turtle pictures for you! Will post them soon. Happy Spring!

A Blizzard! It's 85 degrees and humid here, today. I don't know when we've had a hotter March - it must be breaking all kinds of records. Such very strange weather...
I love the male Redpolls. Such beautiful birds - another species I've never seen in real life. And the Northern Flickers, too - are those red stripes on the wing feathers?
I can't imagine how cold it must be there Kay ... but you have the delightful redpolls to brighten up your day. Keep warm and take care xx
Your birds are so beautiful. Many places up North are warmer than usual this week. (Our neighbors here in Florida are saying that their summer homes in Illinois, Indiana, etc are as warm as it is here.) Climate change.
Oh great shots! Love the Redpolls. It's 84 with the humidex here in Ontario today Kay! I'd rather have snow.
What beautiful photos!
Nice bird photos and a little snow sounds great!
Snow?!!!
We had 26 C. today. It was amazing. Too hot, though. We're going to need some rain.
Greetings from Cottage Country!
Isn't it always the case, Spring is such a tease but Summer means business. At least, that is the way here in my part of the world.
Love those cute little birds. They are that tame that you can take a close up photos.
Hope your snow clears soon to make way for Spring!
Oh dear, I hope the snow clears quickly, please don't send it this way! I am a keen bird watcher and I love to see all the different birds that you have, similar bt differen to a lot of our birds. I do recognise the starlings, very comical birds but sometimes a bit of a bully xxx
Sounds like winter's last stand! We have snow and freezing temps again here too.
Love your spring shots though!
Oh my what a lovely post! These are so sweet!
Winter is just reminding you he is not going quietly. The birds are pretty. Do they get drunk on the fermented fruit?
Sorry about your plans!
I love your photos
I love the redpolls
I have read unofficial their arrival means spring is here
Yikes! The birds are terrific... but not so terrific would be your snow blizzard! My bones start to chill at 10C already! I'm hoping the temps will be spring comfy when we return to Wuchuan in a few days...
pretty birds .. Mr Redpoll is thinking I wish I had galoshes!
What BEAUTIFUL birds! Wonderful photos. It is raining here today. I am tired and achey and having a Rain Day of going nowhere. Yay!
I love those Northern Flickers - we get Redpolls and Starlings - great pics - Thanks for Sharing - Jane UK

Beautiful set of pictures dear Kay,
here it's cold but we have wonderful sunshine!

Beautiful birds - hope the snow won't prove too hard for them.
