No, not college basketball, but the weather! We got another coating of ice over everything yesterday before it began snowing and snowing and snowing - again. This morning, about 3-4 inches of snow. Shoveling out and using up the last of the pellets to break up the ice. What fun!
Here are some interesting visitors to the feeders...

What a fine group of birds. Lovely to see them here on your blog. You may well feel inspired to paint them after having cleared away the snow from the path! I thought your last watercolor painting of the pretty bird was very nice Rhonda, your birds have such character.
It has been a horrific winter everywhere, Rhonda. I wonder when Spring will arrive, and what the summer will be like.
Glad to see you feeding the birds. :)

Is that a robin in the midst? Usually a great harbinger of spring! I don't think I've seen any yet, but then I haven't gotten out of the house much either. Love that you feed the birds...
Thanks so much, Caroline, Kathryn and Sadmi :)
Sherry, yes, the robin came very early and he's figured out how to get the suet!! So he's getting a little fat :) Just the single one so far but he's suffered through a lot of bad weather. The one with the black bib is a flicker and there were 2 that came through and now I just see 1 - they don't stay in this area long.
I do intend to try to paint some of these soon as I get myself in gear - need some sunshine!!
I've never seen a flicker: handsome bird. At first I thought maybe it was an American woodcock with the robin in the first photo--another harbinger of spring. In fact, this Saturday, at dusk, I'm going out with some birders to see(we hope) the male woodcocks sing and dance to attract their mates.
