It's almost creepy, the amount of birds that are around our yard this time of year.  The grass and flowerbeds this morning were absolutely teeming with Yellow Finches, Dark-Eyed Juncos (a.k.a. snowbirds), Cardinals and sparrows.  At the same time on the trees I saw a Nuthatch and several Blue Jays.  I even saw a chilly-looking Robin who was probably wishing he was somewhere further south. 

This fellow is a Red-Bellied Woodpecker.  He came to our corn feeder several times while I watched.

These are Northern Flickers.  There were three all together, rooting around my Stella de Oro daylillies.  I don't see them around here very often, especially that many at once.

You just can't beat the beauty of the male Cardinal!  It's one of the best things about our Nebraska winters.
