Lunchtime

 

This shot was taken last week before we got 60 cm (2 ft) of snow.  It was cold and these little House Sparrows were gobbling up all the seeds that they could find.

Sparrows are the hardiest birds in Canada. I bet they wished they migrated -- why don't they?

They could put one in the poor house.

Well, we do have to help them a little in these difficult times for them.

Hello,
It seems the snow makes the birds go into a feeding frenzy.
I do not see many house sparrows in my neighborhood.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thanks so much for leaving me a comment.

That's another one of those sites that lifts the spirits. I hope they got enough to eat before the second snow arrived.

60cm of snow is a lot, on top of what you already had. The birds will be grateful for your feed.

My neighbour fed the birds yesterday, minutes later roe deer arrived, so the fed them as well. They ate non-stop for an hour.
