Birthdays and Birds

Happy Birthday, Mom, I hope your day is going great. Don't worry I won't out your age like I did Dad.
Well it snowed last night. And it snowed last night. Did I mention it snowed last night? My patio table has 19 inches on it. And it's been blowing since daylight. There was closer to 24 inches in the driveway. So I disregarded all the criticism I was getting here in my own house and I set two slices of old bread on that 19 inches of snow on my patio table. On each slice I put a small scoop of bird seed (mainly sunflower seed). I set the camera on a tripod and sat back and watched the magic. Everyone continued to laugh, but everyone continued to look and ask, "What's that bird?". The still think I'm crazy so I reminded them they'll grow up to be just like me. Touche. Seen below are... 1. male Downy woodpecker and a Dark Eyed Junco... 2. Tufted Titmouse... 3. male Downy Woodpecker... 4. female downy Woodpecker... 5. Dark Eyed Junco... 6. White Crowned Sparrow... and 7. Dark Eyed Junco.
