Eye to eye with a curious and very persistent little tufted titmouse. This cross-observation took place through a slightly fogged, and more than slightly dirty window in my living room. A steaming bowl of homemade chili and warm radiant-heated comfort on my side of the glass, while outside the weather was powder-fine blowing snow with temps in the 20-something degree range. There were several of these little guys fluttering around on the porch, insisting rather vocally that more sunflower seed be added to the abundance of mixed seed already on the windowsill feeder. Picky eaters, those titmice.
To be fair, in addition to feeding them and providing temporary shelter from the storm, I did spend about half the day out on the porch with the birds. However, it was much too cold and windy to handle the camera with much finesse, especially given how I was bundled up as if I were making a summit attempt on Everest. Yesterdays sparrow was shot the following day, when the sun reappeared and made being outside rather pleasant (except for the shoveling snow part.)
More birds on the way...
