Birds unruffled by erratic weather

 
Another week of strange unpredictable weather ... going from extreme cold to quite warm days, strong winds one day to calm grey ones with gently falling snow. The birds seem to take it all quite happily and flock to the feeders several times a day, goldfinches and redpolls, chickadees, nuthatches and woodpeckers. They are cheerful and immaculately groomed.
