Snow and Hungry Birds
Underneath the snow, the sleet lies like pellets as white as the snowflakes that sifted down in the dark of night.
The snow continues to pepper down throughout the day and finally stops.
The Cardinal finds sunflower seed in the mix of feed that’s been sprinkled on top of the snow.

The Sparrow joins right in and appears to find the seed to his liking.
