Putting out the heated bird bad yesterday was a good idea. This morning the other bath was frozen. Philadelphia had it's first measurable snow today for the first time in almost 2 years. Birds loved the snow until sunset when they retreated to their nests. Blue jays, black eyed juncos, a robin, cardinals, sparrows and another large bird visited the yard today. The bright blue bird bath and water seemed to draw them some how. Can't leave out the squirrels who ate corn and peanuts put out this morning.
When the jays discovered them the squirrels retreated and snuck in to grab some between the jays trip back to their nest to deposit nuts for later. The birds were fun to watch today. Eating, swooping, and playing. One also found the suet put out yesterday. Didn't get any real good pictures as the best ones are when I didn't have my camera with me and those I did take were through a screened window.
