It’s National Bird Day, and what better way to celebrate than with a lovely bunch of the current regulars? These were all taken over the holidays when we had a nice amount of snow. I would love to see as much of the US as I can but I am always happy I ended up in Michigan because we get all four seasons here, and it is such a great spot for wildlife, nature and birds. The variety we are getting to see here at any season is quite astonishing and can truly help to survive bad moods and dark times.
