Before the sleet started, the bird feeder was a hot spot

Stuck inside on his dreary day, I found the bird feeder to be quite entertaining this morning. I have been sitting at the window taking pictures.

While the Goldfinches were competing for space at the feeders, a group of Cedar Waxings arrived to check out the pond. They were so pretty.

Some fat Cardinals (there are at least three) came in for a snack. And a Tufted Titmouse joined the Goldfinches for a morning meal.



They flew from the trees to the pond a few times and then left.

A Goldfinch waiting atop a ladder for its turn at the feeder gives me a look that I interpret as: "Human, you need to add more feeders.

Fat cardinal surveys the buffet.
Did someone say Titmouse? Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.
After the noontime sleet stopped, I added more food, and the party started again.
A large afternoon guest: White-wing Dove
At least three Bluejays appeared. They zoom in, grab morsels and jolt away like amateur shoplifters.
