The backyard birds were quite abundant as we've just experienced another snowstorm. This system dumped about 10" of snow over night. It's cold but the sun is shining today. I think it's suppose to warm up toward the end of the week and the snow will gone. So, actually it's a novelty to have some (speaking as a person who grew up in South Dakota). We've had a variety of birds coming to feed: Harris's Sparrows, Dark-eyed Juncos, Northern Cardinals, American Goldfinches, Blue Jays, and a few House Sparrows. I haven't seen the White-crowned Sparrows yet today. We're really enjoying it and will enjoy it while it lasts!Happy Wednesday!! Everyone :-))

Beautiful images of your backyard vistors! Amazing junco photograph!
...love your little junco, and I'm still totally jealous of your Harris's Sparrows! :-)
Thank you, Julie :-))
Thank you, Kelly :-)) we need something to make the dull Kansas landscape come to life! Ha!
More snow Cindy ... you seem to have had a basin full this winter but at least the garden birds seem happy.
Nice bunch Cindy :-)
It's great how a snowstorm brings out the birds; they really appreciate a handout when food is hard to find. You always get such a variety and capture them so well !
Hi, Cindy,
I've got the same juncos, but I sure am jealous of your Harris's sparrows! We just see them for a few days during migration, I think they are very handsome.
What part of SD did you start from?
Thanks for stopping by and for leaving comments!
Thank you, Frank :-)
Thank you, Mike :-)
Thank you, Rick :-)
Thank you, Caroline :-)
Caroline, I couldn't find your email so I'll answer your question here: I grew up in the SC part of SD on a dairy farm.
