A winter weather advisory for my area warned of ice light accumulation before late morning temperatures were to rise to the mid-30's. They nailed the light ice accumulation prediction for the morning but the temperature maxed out at 30 F, so the moderate rain in the early afternoon also froze on contact.
The significant coating of ice that covered everything made a dramatic backdrop for photographing birds around and on my feeders. I started with the Cardinals in the front yard.
Shortly thereafter I moved to the backyard where the nyjer seed feeder itself was worthy of a photo or two. Throw in some winter finches and watch the magic unfold.
