Lori, Good Morning Hugs....What kind of bird is that sitting atop the frozen fountain? Hope it didn't get frozen stuck on there...!!

Hah, great photo. Since I don't have an outdoor thermometer, I checked often at weather underground last night and this morning. 'Round midnight, 'twas 35F in my neighborhood, 38F @ 9:00 a.m. today. The forecast is more of the same cold temps for the coming week plus, but DRY, dry, dry.

That's a pretty fountain, by the way...

That's a "Carduelis psaltria" (a little Latin lingo for ya', LOL). Commonly known as a "Lesser Goldfinch". They love to paddle around in the icy water. They are the most playful birds I've ever seen and they have such fun in our fountain. I never see them during the summer, just during December and January. Not much larger than a hummingbird, but tough little things!
