The sunny side of rain

I found out why there haven’t been any birds on my bird feeder.  They were waiting for today! It’s finally cold, pouring rain, and miserable outside, after an unusually sunny and beautiful fall and early winter. Now there’s a gorgeous bluejay at the suet feeder, and four little birds that look like California Towhees around the birdseed bell.


I actually had no idea what kind of birds these are. Well, I guessed on the blue jay. I’m not a “Birder,” but I do have a computer. Check out this website, and you, too, can be a bird geek!   http://identify.whatbird.com/mwg/_/0/attrs.aspx

It started as a cold, wet, dreary day, but now I’m snuggled up with a mug of tea and my blog, smiling at the awful weather, and the precious little creatures it delivered.
