Becky, my youngest sister lived in the Kennesaw/Marietta area for 35+ years but moved a year ago to South Carolina to be near her only child. I know it was rare for your area to get snow and ice in winter but this winter has been pretty chilly for a lot of the country. It's currently 1:30 in the afternoon and we are still at 48º here in my part of Florida!! It is very rare for us to have the 40's for our high temps! We're supposed to drop to 31º with a freeze lasting @ two hours. The feeders in my yard have been very busy with the birds filling up for the cold night ahead. Weird weather ... it's going to be warming back to the mid and upper 70's by the weekend! Even though it's very windy and chilly here I went out and took some photos a little while ago.
Baltimore Oriole (they only pass through Florida during migration) and Female Cardinal:
Mourning Doves:
Red-bellied Woodpeckers:
Red-winged Blackbird, Tufted Titmouse and Warbler:
I put oranges out in hopes that the Orioles stay around a day or two!
