I took Cinnamon out. We have had some melt and freeze, and more thaws. The pops of colour of the moss really makes me think spring!

From there I did some birdwatching. I did not need to go far! Woody Woodpecker, the cardinal, is still after his shadow. I've been moving the contact paper around and the poopy situation is improving. Silly bird.woody woodpecker the cardinal from Jennifer Jilks on Vimeo.
The bird feeder has been busy. Goldfinches are getting a tad more golden. There were 3 purple finches.
The white breasted nuthatch found some cracked corn tucked into the tree bark.
The red-winged blackbirds are back from the south, as well as the grackles. We've had 22 mourning doves at one time in the winter.
The cardinal, goldfinch and purple finch and, finally, a woodpecker...

Cinnamon does stand out on the moss covered rock. Your orchid cactus flower is a goregous colour. I heard, but did not see, a red winged blackbird last week. I was always taught that when the red winged blackbirds return, it truly is spring. Such a distinct call.
Sweet Cinnamon making decisions as to how to keep his paws dry. Funny that he knows ice is ok, though slippery. Loved seeing all your birds too! And especially the turkey gang!
The Oscars. I remember driving from Sarnia to Ottawa to celebrate with our daughter. Now we don't drive the five minutes to her house.
We have been hearing the Red-winged Blackbirds but haven't seen them yet. They do say spring to me.
Wow ! great series of bird photos ~ thanks,

...your orchid cactus is a sight for sore eyes on this cold windy day!
Lovely bird photos.
It's spring!
You have a lot of bird activity at your place.
Beautiful cactus flower! I don't have any room for plants indoors, so call me jealous!
I don't think I've ever seen a red-winged black bird at any of our feeders. Mostly we just have cardinals, sparrows, nuthatches, and goldfinches.
You have a great variety.
You still have ice in places!
Today we have fire warnings. I hope we get rain soon!
Cinnamon cracks me up. He boldly stepped into that cold water, good kitty! The birds are delightful.
