Where have all the Birdies gone?

Ah! The early morning snow that we could actually see and enjoy. I was up enjoying but the wife was still sleeping. A few squirrels were out and about, but the birds were no where to be seen.

Where are the birds? Today is a little perplexing as few birds have been at the feeders thus far. Is it the snow? Is the Hawk back? or are they just finicky eaters desiring only Wild Birds Unlimited's "Deluxe mix". This weeks feed is from a local retailer and is supposedly black sun flower seeds desired by all song birds. My wife thinks the birds are rebelling about the feed.

A couple of quick pictures from this morning. Note the snow flakes drifting down around the squirrel. Sorry Mrs DOF no sun or sunlight to photograph today.

Well, I've been trying for 3 days to leave a Comment over here and Blogger is being a booger about my password.

anyways, the squirrel pictures are cute but cold. We've had a couple critters run through the yard, grabbing up some bread crusts I threw out the window. They don't stick around long enough for me to get such fine pictures as yours.
