Subzero Shelter in a Cedar Tree

The red cedar next to our house was a bird magnet today. The tree, with its protection from the wind and location in the sun, hosted a fair amount of visitors including cardinals, chickadees, house finches and goldfinches.

It wasn’t just birds flocking to the tree today!
