I could watch that all day.

I have a big bird feeder now and my boyfriend made a place for the pigeons as well. The birds visit all day long and I love to wake up and see them.

All the migratory birds have flown south, and won't see them until the spring thaw. I was surprised to see a few Robins in the snowstorm today. Bet they won't stay long now.
Winter will be Chickadees, woodpeckers, Eagles and Hawks, and the few Geese that hang out in the thawed waters of the Mississippi river.
