Oh, Daryl, I didn't take either of those photos but found them on the Internet. Sure glad I didn't see the second pic in person! Speaking of which, we have had snow recently but no freezing rain so the birds should be in excellent condition. The ones we took last Friday were still covered in fat so should be able to withstand a series of snows.....if they don't get wet.
