This Morning Outside

It's been barely above zero degrees the last couple of days. My feeders and the heated birdbath have been wildly busy.

Now I get lots of chances to drink in the beauty of the purple finches. The males are the color of ripe red plums.

Kozy Bird Spa

Our favorite winter birdbath is the Kozy Bird Spa. Comes with a pedestal, which the cord goes up through.

The heating element is built into the bowl. The cord plugs in from inside the pedestal.

A good binocular for getting started does not have to be expensive, but it should have good optical quality.

The Vortex Shrike 8x42 costs only $99.99.
