With our area blanketed in a thick layer of heavily crusted snow, finding sufficient food is difficult for many species of wildlife. Birds are flocking to feeding areas in great numbers.This morning with the thermometer dipping to 11 deg F I decided to visit with my brother Willard and shoot at his feeding/observation post. This male Cardinal was nice enough to pose for his portrait.
After shooting a while, I headed to a local building supply store purchasing some lumber and screws for my afternoon project building Blue Bird nest boxes. I found some nice plans at The Bird Report blog and intend to give it a try.

As always, my greetings to Mrs. Salty, Chad and Sandy. Chad needs to update us all with more wedding photos!

Good shot Salty and thanks for the link. I have been spending more money to feed the birds this year than my 12-year old boy. But is has been fun watching them.
