Tufted Titmouse … Trap Pond State Park, Laurel, Delaware … 4/13/22

Snow days are fun because frosty conditions make the birds flock to the feeders. It is of course looking especially pretty when the sun is shining too. All the pretty snow has pretty much melted already but here is a little visitor medley from earlier.
