We have snow .. not a lot, but its cold, windy and the white stuff covering the trees and ground yesterday. Rain is on the way.
This American Tree Sparrow didn't seem to mind the snow.

Today is my 21st birthday 🤣. Well, I say that every year. Lets go with 21 with 46 years of experience.
Today also marks seven years cancer free. I had a radical prostatectomy seven years ago today. I was not healthy and didn't realize how bad it really was. The surgery went well, but I could have been avoided if I had focused on my health over my lifetime. For years I went to the gym, but I had a fork problem. I didn't eat right. After cleaning up my diet I am a different preson. I eat fewer carbs and removing ultra-processed 💩. These days I am carnivore and eat meat and eggs. Life is good and my health is so much improved.
These cardinals remind me that good health comes with effort. Now on to the next 50 years.

We stopped by the one of the bird feeders at Big Woods one day last week and saw a number of brids. As we were about to drive away, we saw this Broad-winged Hawk in a tree just south of the feeder. You can fill in the blanks .. who knows. Nature is often beautiful, and sometimes a little sad. Death and life are connected. Make every day great.

This Downy Woodpecker seems to enjoy suet cake. I thin we have seen the same bird feasting on it several mornings this past week. I guess he is a suet connoisseur.
