If we were still living in Southeastern Massachusetts we would likely be waking up to 8 or so inches of new snow on the ground. I remember the sound of the snow falling. You don’t think it should really make a sound - each snowflake being weightless and so delicate, but you really can hear it during big storms. And that much snow changes the landscape for man and animals. We had lots of birds around, and when the plants are dormant and the ground is covered, they can’t find food.
We always kept bird feeders filled for them, most of the feeders we could see from inside the house. This one was outside our dining room window. The red bird on the right is a Cardinal - a male. I think the other two are Nuthatches - a little hard to tell from this angle, but I think that’s what they are.

so true, you can hear the silence in a good snow fall, lovely photos of the cardinals they are very pretty
ReplyDeleteThere's really very little I miss about the snow. The sound of a heavy snowfall and the beauty of a bright, sunrise after a snowfall are about it! Thanks for stopping by!!
DeleteNice capture of the birds....love the cardinal!
ReplyDeleteI live in the desert and miss the snow terribly!
Thanks - I love them too!! We live in TN now, so we don't get as much snow - usually just enough!
DeleteAgree those Cardinals are stunning. That colour red is just SO vibrant. Are they very common in Massachusetts ?
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in the link up today, it's lovely to have you join in.
Hugs xx
The cardinals are beautiful. They are quite common in Massachusetts, we also have them here in Tennessee. The males are a bright red - especially against the snow. The females are more of a tannish-red color. They are such sweet 'couples'. The females don't usually go near the feeders when there are other birds around, they'll stay on the ground or nearby in the tree. I've seen the male take food from the feeder over to the female so she can eat, too. Thanks for the link-up! I'm looking forward to sharing our worlds!!
