Birds and Berries


The air turned sharply colder yesterday, 

and birds came to the feeder in a steady stream.

A winterberry branch, propped above the feeder, provided a good perch.














Cardinals eat the berries, stripping away the shiny skin faster than you can blink. 





Titmice, and the other small birds, haven't tried the berries yet, to my knowledge...





they're more interested in the sunflower seeds below.





Blue jays put in an appearance,

 and, as is customary, there was a short squabble...





but this time the victor was worried.

"Did I make her mad?"
