I never get tired of these beautiful, tiny birds. Finally captured him sitting in a scrub.
Happy Birding!
~Snow and record-breaking temperatures…
October 14, 2018, Loveland, Colorado
Received about three inches of snow overnight. Before daylight, woke up to the sound of a snow ploy, on our hill. Tonight will be 15F, a record low for this time of year. Spend the day inside; cooked some dried Black-eyed Peas and drank lots of hot liquids. Brrrrr!
Starting tomorrow our temperatures will be more moderate.
The birds have been flying in and out of this evergreen tree all day trying to stay warm.
The Juncos have been a challenge to capture, so no photos. Please excuse the poor quality of these bird photos, because I took them out the window.

forcing birds down the mountain
signs of change
First Junco sighting today; I saw just one. Birds are moving to lower elevations. White-crowned Sparrows have been enjoying the feeders for a week now. Unfortunately, I don’t have any photos to share.
This week we enjoyed the first snow fall of the autumn season. Forecast for Sunday in Loveland – snow and 11 degrees.
