Today a bunch of birds of varying species all “visited” my balcony at the same time. A male and female cardinal and some juncos ate seeds off the ground. Juncos and goldfinches were chilling on the railing. The goldfinches were also clustered on the feeders, along with a white breasted nuthatch. A chickadee flitted in and out. There was also a downy woodpecker on the suet feeder. Cute birbs.

Does anyone else see the dick in the snow?
InocuousBjornn
spring is great.
MeowMyOvaries
Do you get any tits? Or i should say, "tufted titmice"?
Ruhig
I'm sure a feeder like that is a blessing during a cold snap like that. Cardinals were always my favourites.
Jukior
How has no one told me there is a bird called a white breasted nuthatch?
ChristianZombieVampire
Don't forget about great tits and blue footed boobys

This is probably the only occasion were it would have been better to film vertically :)

I’m glad I’m not the only one that was thinking that!
ChristianZombieVampire
Hah. I actually have to agree with you there.
regularnormalguy
As someone who lives in Ohio keep our state bird safe and full.

When the birds see the snow

Do you have audio ? I'd love to hear their chirps
ChristianZombieVampire
I don’t ?. I took these videos from inside as they are really skittish. I adore their little sounds too
ChristianZombieVampire
Found a youtube video that had the chirps/chattering that I love. Is this what you mean? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx8Z82T0Zf4

Where are the foxes?
Cottonflame
Had a shit-ton of birds at my place too; although it was almost exclusively juncos. So many little bird tracks in the snow, it was adorable
holmestrix
+1 to you OP for keeping the feeders full during this time.
ChristianZombieVampire
I appreciate that. I do find it fulfilling and peaceful to feed and watch the birbs.
CommanderKiwi
Can someone shed some light why people say birbs when the letter D is directly connected to the letter S making it easier to spell correctly
CoolHandTim
You must be German. Wanna know how I know? Because you don't like fun.

I've never heard of a snowstorm in april being described as lovely
ChristianZombieVampire
Hmm must find “sarcasm” font ?
YouTotallyLookedAtMyUsernameDidntYou
a pair of quotes does the trick usually
ChristianZombieVampire
True. But in this case I think the majority of people recognized it as sarcasm. April snow storms in this region are obviously not lovely ?
corndoghooker
Shit, it's still snowing in places? I already forgot about winter.
ChristianZombieVampire
Hah. Well aren’t you the lucky one? Unless you have amnesia. That would be unfortunate.
yaboiskinnypeen
Yeah man, 3 day snow storm smacked Minnesota this week. I was wearing shorts at work on Monday, said 65 in my car.
Dunhaaam
It's called Minnesota. You think winter is over, then it snows again
SkinknamedJormungandr
Even into May if nature is really pissed at us...
ChristianZombieVampire
Yeah it is pretty rare but I totally remember it snowing in May like 5 or 6 years ago.
SkinknamedJormungandr
2013. I then went out to western South Dakota that year and got hit with Winter Storm Atlas. Crazy year for me.

I was going to say Michigan.
ChristianZombieVampire
Mhm, it's been a blast!
HD2composer
Minnesota?!!? Wow
Slopecop
White Bear Lake reporting here: tons of birds, branches crashing, and thunder snow. Gotta love spring...
ChristianZombieVampire
Aw bummer I missed out on thunder snow!
CongratsYouAreHereNow
don't they all swim south for the summer?
ChristianZombieVampire
Yes. All Minnesotans abandon their lives above ground to go swim down the Mississippi for summer.
CongratsYouAreHereNow
I’m talking about the birds
SkinknamedJormungandr
I was fortunate enough that the worst went north of me.
forgetthisnoise
Pretty sure I'm north of you then lol. I'm sick of this shit
SkinknamedJormungandr
SE Minnesota. Still got a fair amount.
forgetthisnoise
Oh well might live in the same area then. I'm in dilworth
chasinjake
Hopefully it warms up by next week.
ChristianZombieVampire
I certainly hope so too. This winter just doesn't want to let go.
FearInoculum
Yup. It was snowing earlier today, too. I'm in Toronto
WinnerNotWiner
Same. We had hail in our snow storm today. Still confused about weather.
ChristianZombieVampire
Here too, or something like hail. It was almost like ice rain. It was -so- loud.
abeol
Christ and it hurt where I was haha
