Same storm, different bird. An American Goldfinch tried to get to the bird feeder, but since it was so windy and snowy, the bird eventually took refuge under the magnolia branches.

So it looks like the poor thing was perched on snow, and couldsn’t even touch the branch, it was so deep. Very nice images…I suppose you’ll look back on these wistfully, on some hot August day… ๐

I though the Goldfinch looked rather sad in that last photo.

Looks so chilly for these lovely birds. We had a storm yesterday and two ducks were on our front walk. Completely unusual. I think they forgot to migrate.

Did you mean they forgot to migrate South? This winter has been tough on wildlife and humans alike.

I’m sure that the weather is miserable there with the series of storms passing through, but you’re getting great photos as the birds come to the feeder!

It is a marvel these small ones survive on days like this. Many do not. The feeders are their saving.

So it never made it to eat? Tough situation for all. Your area has had a rough winter. Sweet photos.

Katelon, they probably got something to eat from the bird feeder. I saw it being emptied in less than two days.

Lois, their condos are among the trees, but they were all covered with snow too.
