WINTER BIRDS


Daughter Nancy’s home in Rockville, Maryland, is a haven for winter birds. A couple of cardinals and a bevy of sparrows compete with squirrels for the food she leaves in bird feeders all over the yard. On the day I took these pictures the temperature didn’t rise above forty degrees Fahrenheit all day. Pecking order has been established, and all birds know what it is. The squirrels stand aside only for humans.
