Blizzard Critters

The weather hasn’t been great here in Snowklahoma lately.

We hate to get out because of sights like this:

I hope the occupants are okay. Anybody besides me notice the Bermuda sign? I could do a little Bermuda or Aruba or somewhere right now.

We are tired of television, reading, and facebook so we have been watching who has been showing up at our bird feeders.

I’m not a bird guy but I think this is a junco. To me it kind of looks like a bird guppy. One thing I’ve learned about this meme is that if I’m wrong somebody will provide a gentle correction.

And we all know that this is a male cardinal.

I’ve gotten much attached to his girlfriend though.

A bluejay showed up for a little while. Not long enough to get a decent photo though.

This was the newcomer of the week. I studied on two bird books and a ipod touch app. I think it is a meadowlark. Whether eastern or western I don’t know. He hung out under the front yard feeder for hours. Long enough for me to wonder if it was ok.

Of course this guy always comes running when there is free food. I guess that he has to eat also.

    Wonderful shots of the birds! The Meadowlark is beautiful. They are disappearing around here due to the loss of farmland. Sad that there is way too much development around here for these kinds of birds to survive. I hope the people in that car are OK. Stay safe and warm!

    A friend of mine who moved from Oklahoma to Nebraska found it amusing yesterday to be out in the sunshine on a beautiful day while Oklahomans were having what another friend referred to as snowmaggedon

    What terrific captures!! I love all the birds! Wonderful visitors to brighten up those snowy, cold days! Hope you get some relief from the cold soon. My son in Dallas has been snowed in for nearly a week. The university where he works has all but shut down for the past few days! Amazing! Hope you stay warm for the weekend!

    What a great variety of birds. We have meadowlarks, but hey aren’t that pretty and they make a lot of noise. I’d be willing to join you in Bermuda or Aruba. It’s sad when OK has more snow than eastern Colorado. I hope you made it to work okay yesterday.

    I loved your commentary! I too told Hubs yesterday I was bored. One can only do blogging, TV, Facebook, and reading for awhile. I need sun!
    Great pics of birds and weather!

    We are our own version of the Bermuda Triangle, I think. The sign was fair warning!

    Here in Connecticut, we’re done cleaning, rearranging, cooking, reading, crafting, writing, blogging, shoveling, telephone calling, taking cute videos of the dog who can deal with 2′ of snow because he doesn’t sink….

    Your birs are great. I am wondering what the blue jay’s girlfriend looks like. Hmm….

    Boy, you got some great bird pictures.

    I’m not a bird fan, but I think it’s because the only ones I ever see in my yard are black birds.

    You have pretty birds!

    Great shots of the birds and squirrel! That’s the same view as my neighborhood street. And they say another storm may hit us Tuesday/Wednesday.
