Around the bird feeder

Couldn't decide which photo to use, so took the easy route and used all three. I hung a sunflower head on the clothesline near the birdfeeder and the first photo is a tufted titmouse sitting on the line. The middle shot is a chickadee coming in for a landing, deciding to eat the seeds on the ground rather than the ones in the feeder. The last shot is a downy woodpecker on the pole of the birdfeeder.

Our yard remains frozen, today it was even worse because it had started to melt and froze again, so it was very slick. Right now it is snowing again - supposed to be only a snow shower, so we will see.
