The master of all he surveys (Cardinalis cardinalis)

The only things moving in the yard, or even the neighborhood, right now are the birds and me with the camera. The ice storm has coated all the trees and bushes in crystal and there is 1/2" of sleet on the ground. I've only seen one squirrel today and he just grabbed a few bites of corn and took off back to his warm nest. There are dozens and dozens of birds in the yard, though. Many parts of the country see this type of weather often, but for the Gulf coast it is practically unheard of.

| This little pine warbler (Setophaga pinus) is none too happy about having cold toes |
 |
| Even frozen, the ginger plants give off a spicy smell |
