He was fluffed up because it was so darn cold!! haha. And really bella? You a fatty, not a chance, you're perfect. Birds have to do that here unfortunately, just to keep warm

I've seen these guys at the feeder the last couple weeks but none the last few days. It's warmed up so maybe they're just passing through.

They might have just been passing through. The Canadian geese you saw last week, I think, have made their way up this way. My cedar hedges were filled with Red winged blackbirds this morning, along with Grackles and Starlings. All the local nuisance birds are back now....haha

They haven't been around for a couple of weeks that I've seen. So you're probably right. Spring is pretty much kickli9jng in here. The birds have begun nesting. I saw the bald eagles working on their nest on top of the lake bridge. The Northern Cardinals are still hanging around. There were two different broods raised in my roses last year and I'm wondering if they're part of that group.

Bald Eages nesting within your view, that's incredible! We have some about a 20 minute drive from here in a swampy area near the lake. Yes, I remember the Northern Cardinals that raised their broods in your roses last year, or you telling me that at least They could very well be part of that group.

It's not exactly in my view here either, but not to far. Still cool.
