Backyard Friends

This morning there were tons of squeals and screams. The birds found the bird house today. We put the house out Sunday afternoon, but we hadn't seen any birds visiting it. This morning, there were over 15 birds there at one point. The brave ones (not deterred by the very colorful and very unnatural paint color of the bird house) went inside to eat, while the others waited underneath and picked all the seeds that fell on the snow. Nina and Lyla sat at the window and watched for a long time. They were so excited that the birds located the house and came to get food this morning. Keeping the birds company, is Snowflake the Snowman (named by Nina) who is currently standing next to the tree. After the "warm" weather supposedly arriving tomorrow, we're not sure how much longer he'll be out there.
