It was snowing when I came to work before dawn, but by mid-morning the sun peeked out and helped to warm this chilly black-capped chickadee up.

I found this yellow-rumped warbler yesterday afternoon when I was checking out the area around Dunning's Spring for wintering birds. It is unusual for yellow-rumped warblers to winter this far north, but the Dunning's Spring area is it's best bet to survive since the spring offers a reliable water source and there are dense stands of eastern red cedar trees nearby that can supple plenty of food and shelter when the weather turns frigid and stormy.

My Dad made this tree for me in 2006. It's the season for putting up a tree.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments and favs. All are greatly appreciated. HCT

O CHRISTMAS TREE

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches!
Not only green in summer’s heat,
But also winter’s snow and sleet.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
Of all the trees most lovely;
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
Of all the trees most lovely.
Each year you bring to us delight
With brightly shining Christmas light!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
Of all the trees most lovely.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
We learn from all your beauty;
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
We learn from all your beauty.
Your bright green leaves with festive cheer,
Give hope and strength throughout the year.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
We learn from all your beauty.
