Freezing Rain - World Bird Wednesday


After getting an inch or so of snow before dawn, it has now changed over to rain/freezing rain/sleet. I had to post a picture of this female Northern Cardinal sitting out in the tree. Poor thing. It is about 31 - 34 degrees so it keeps slipping in and out of the type of precipitation that is coming down. I got outside and put a bunch of seed out in case the birds are hungry. Maybe a cup of coffee would help.
