For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good Tuesday morning to everyone! I hope this morning doesn’t start like it did yesterday, with technical issues. But at least the rest of the day worked fine, so that was nice. Muffin seems a bit calmer this morning for some reason. Perhaps she stayed up more during the night, that always does it. A bit colder again today after our snow yesterday. But that’s kind of normal. The birds were certainly active too, which is also normal after it snows like that. I hope you enjoyed your holiday Monday, for those of you who got one. Here we call it Family Day. I was planning on doing a post about that, but because of the technical issues I changed plans. Oh well, these things happen. Our pics today take a different look with some colorful birds to share with you. I hope you will like them.
And here we go with colorful summer bird pics…
And we will start with this nice white crowned sparrow, another one of our large sparrows. This one only comes through in spring and fall, it heads further north for breeding.
And here we have a very beautiful male evening grosbeak. These birds usually stay around all year but I haven’t seen or heard any around this winter which is very unusual considering it has been a mild winter. But maybe I’m just in the wrong part of town.
I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

AWW I saw that you had snow yesterday, It;s some days chilly some days warm here in Texas, lots of respiratory illnesses. The weather here is unstable.

Actually when the temp is up and down it makes it hard and sickness seems to get worse at that time. Hope you are all well!

I had a respiratory thing earlier in the month, was off work a few days. Am much better but a residual cough, this year the respiratory stuff is really hard to shake.
Then I see the Coronavirus infection/ death rate keeps increasing.

Glad you’re feeling better, and you’re right, it can be hard to shake that cough. That Coronavirus is a scary one, I hope it doesn’t make it up this way.
