The junco returned at the first sign of snow. I really like them as they are gentle birds who have the look of a rounded snowbird. 

 

 We had a small number of them last year but there are more of them here this year. 

 With the cold and the deep snow the sparrows really appreciate free seed There are lots of them out there  and when I run out of seed they just go to the neighbors. 

 

We are still clearing out from our big snowfall. I had to work at the sidewalk to the door to make it safe to walk on as we had some people coming to the house.  I salted it in the iced areas and kept going out and brak up the ice. I did get it clear enough the neither one of the two fell that came for a visit.

Thanks for stopping by today.
