When the wind blows.....

Our snow disappeared almost as quickly as it came. The day began covered in white, but by mid-day, it was pretty much gone. However the wind was really blowing early and the birds took on a very "ruffled" look as they visited the feeders!

I don't usually have two Titmice on the same feeder...I actually saw 3 out there at one time today. You can sure tell who is on the windy side :-)

Titmouse having a "bad hair day" in the wind....straight up!

The cardinal caught the wind with his tail....doing an imitation of a wren?

Mrs. Cardinal took the "close your eyes and hunch down into your shoulders approach".

.....And of course we have the "wren ruffle"

The Grackle didn't get ruffled, but really enjoyed the puddles left from the melting snow to drink!
