It's been a really long winter and I keep thinking about the old Beatles song, "Here Comes the Sun". Spring has been reluctant to arrive around here - in fact, it was snowing on Wednesday. I'm so ready for sunshine and warm breezes!
While we wait, I'll post a few pictures I took of birds along the way. The titmouse and chickadee above did an amazingly good job of sharing the peanut feeder.
This house finch couldn't face it, either and just tucked her beak under her wing and took a nap.
This goldfinch looks a bit disgusted with the late snow, too.
The house finch looked a little more alert and hopeful, but was quite appreciative of the cracked corn I toss out for the ground feeders every day.
And I loved this sweet junco with snowflakes on its back. As soon as it moves, they'll all fall off, but it's adorned with diamonds in this moment.
I have a few pictures to share for a special day tomorrow and I'll be back to celebrate that with you.
Also, many thanks to Sheila and BetsyLee for checking in with me to make sure I was okay - I appreciate it a lot. As the song says, it was a "long, cold, lonely winter". Bring on the sun! Piper and I are ready.

Oh duh... that's me... Sheila
I love all the birds that visit my feeder, but the juncos have the edge on the cuteness scale. I don't know what it is about those guys, but they're adorable! Maybe it's because they seem to only be around in the winter? Or is it the pink tint of the beak? Anyway. Thanks for sharing your lovely photos -- you're a wonderful photographer! Sending warm thoughts your way!💫 PixiePam
Oh, Pink Panther, I'm so ready! :)
I thought it might be you, Sheila. :) I'm glad you liked the birds.
PixiePam, juncos are favorites for me, too. At this time of year, they'll disappear for a few days, until it decides to snow or get nasty out again and then they come back for a handout. I think of them as my foul weather friends. :)
