Walking out on the deck today I was instantly in the midst of an overwhelming cacophony of birds. Finches and Chickadees and Juncos and Cardinals, Crows and Mourning Doves and a couple of Sparrows. They were everywhere. Flying in and out of the Arbor Vitae (White Cedar) shrubs and trees, consuming almost all of the birdseed in our feeders and the neighbor's, coming often to the heated water dish we put out for them. 
During the cold weather that we have been having lately, the water dish couldn't keep the water unfrozen over night. It did manage to melt a couple of small holes in the middle of the day, and the birds appreciated it. Our new cat Grace had a very hard time controlling herself while watching them. She gets very excited looking out of the windows, though she never really makes a break for an open door. Pretty sure she was an indoor cat who must have either escaped or been abandoned before we found her.
