Our morning visitors.

The sweet female cardinal!
Knowing a melt was on the way, perhaps rain, I switched out the feeders. It's important to wash them regularly. I've one in the bathtub, ready for cleaning.
It's been a food fest at the feeders. I counted 23 mourning doves!
In the past, it just seems to be a master leaper!
We've a major melt on the way. It makes such a mess! Next, it'll freeze and make walking treacherous. It's no good for any living creatures.
These are the local snow machine trails. It is an extensive system. We drove past them on our way home from the dentist. It's been an early season. Looks like we're getting rain, too.

We have completely melted. Yesterday was 50, today 40. But nights are in the 20s, so the freeze can be really challenging.
...most of our snow is gone, cold temps will return. Squirrels love to raid the bird feeders!
I did see the other deer under the trees. I sure enjoyed the sound on the video...sounded like flowing water. The little critters need food and you are so good to provide.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr... such weather is happening over much of the UK now - but not here by The Hutch. Still jolly cold, though... YAM xx
I’m glad our driveway has been scraped bare because we’ve dealt with freeze-thaw before, and I no longer feel up to chipping up ice,
My favorites, deer and birds. Take care, enjoy your day and have a great weekend.
Everything has melted here except the hard snow along the curbs. So many mourning doves!
I love the female cardinal in the tree, she almost blends in to the tree. It would make a pretty painting. Have a great weekend!
Melting snow is so messy. And dangerous when it refreezes. The cardinals are such pretty birds. Enjoy!
Oh, mucking out those wet feeders can be a pain. But you're right, it is necessary!
