Today is Fertilizer Fridays/Flaunt Your Flowers by our host Tootsie Time. I love her blog. You can check it out here. Because I am in zone 4 my flower beds are under a quilt of snow.

We have been experiencing hoar frost or radiation frost. It has been very beautiful. To learn more about this check it out here.

White-breasted Nuthatch

Today is Outdoor Wednesday. Please check out the others thanks to Susan at a Southern Daydreamer.

I believe all of these photos are of White-breasted Nuthatches.

This one is more gray. Is it a female?

Dark-eyed Junco

My flower beds are under a quilt of snow, so I am learning about birds. I believe this is a male dark-eyed junco. Please correct me if I am wrong.

With this new interest of mine comes a few problems. 1st one is these beautiful birds are hard to photograph, because it is dark when I leave for work and dark when I get home. 2nd problem is these cold temps. I received a heated birdbath for Christmas and it has been freezing up solid.

I welcome all comments as I take on this journey of learning about birds. I am very excited to study about them.
