Greenhouses are great in the winter, especially when it snows. Beautiful rose, I can almost smell the fragrance.

Sounds like you have your work cut out for you with that hawk hanging around. Interesting PP on this image.

I think he likes the berries on that tree. Audubon-like image, simply beautiful.

They could be scratching for grubs beneath the snow as a compliment to the seeds. Very nice capture, wonderful detail.

i enjoyed your story .. all the pics that you have just posted show that you are a very caring person .. the birds .. your roses .. etc .. its a shame the hawk cant have a feed of the chickens .. lol .. but hopefully he and his mate will find something edible soon .. that hawk .. he looks a bit bedraggled .. its a very harsh environment you live in .. even tho its not a great quality pic .. 100 yards point and shoot .. its still got a lot going for it ..:)

lovely that you have a haven for the birds .. and its not even strange that you would say that you encourage them to tell their friends ..
when i put out seed its like they do tell each other .. firstly a couple of rosellas might come by and have a feed .. before long there will be a few cockatoos and then the king parrots .. its amazing their communication .. almost beyond our understanding ... well mine anyway ..
this is beautiful btw .. the intense sky in the background .. and the snow .. what a dramatic contrast . and there's that bird .. hanging on to the branch with his little feet . sooooo cute . :)
