This week's topic for @nelinoeva 's SMaP contest in the Feathered Friends Community is Birds and Twigs
I took this photo yesterday of these Mourning Doves out in the snow only to realize later that twigs had ruined the shot. It does happen often.
Too bad. It could have been a nice shot, but now will get deleted, like so many bird photos do when Twigs are in the way
Blue Jay on a snowy morning
Northern Flicker on the suet feeder. He is unhappy this morning because the feeder is empty. He keeps coming back to check, but because the snow is so deep I can't get my backdoor open to get out there. He will have to wait until I can get someone to come around to shovel off the deck.
The dark-eyed junco is sometimes known as the "snowbird." It is found in Wisconsin in the colder months, but not in the summer.
This House Finch is small but stands out amidst the snowy backyard landscape.
