The goldfinches are just beginning to get their yellow winter feathers.

I like that the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker keeps hanging around.

This is another view of the Starling with a “bib”. With this picture I noticed that the “bib” is a bit off to the right side instead of under it’s neck. There are also other disheveled feathers. I’m still not sure if all this is a birth deformity or the result of a fight.

Chickadee

A pretty male Downy Woodpecker.

The Hairy Woodpecker is much larger than the Downy.

They also have a much larger beak than the Downy.

Remember when our granddaughter Jenna gave us a jar of cookie mix for a Christmas gift?

It was a quiet, wintry Saturday – a perfect day to bake cookies.

It was also a perfect evening to have a cup of coffee and two cookies.

I froze most of them – and put four in Dustan and Jenna’s church mailbox the next day. 🙂
