Chilly

There is a soft overcast with some blue showing. All the usuals showed up this morning - cardinals, chickadees, titmice, finches, and a white throated sparrow. Plus squirrels (note tail in background). After a dry and windy week they are as interested in the birdbath as the feeder. I am beginning to appreciate why the backyard habitat asks about a water source.

Meanwhile, the new red maple has finally leafed out, as have the hackberry trees. Spiders and stray threads are everywhere. A female cardinal is beginning to get that punk look again. Feather mites?
