Morning at the feeder

 Morning at the feeder brings in bunnies and birds by the dozens. Today, with a snowy covering all around, nobody was too concerned with my presence. The goal was to eat what they could before the rock doves and magpies moved in!

This cottontail has some amazing whiskers. Like most animals of this type, the whiskers serve as feelers in the dark.
 The pinyon jays were plentiful and colorful even under overcast skies.

In this grouping we have at least one mama and one baby. I am always surprised when I see youngsters still being fed in mid-winter but it is a common sight with the pinyons.
