A touch of summer red here and there atMuldoon.

This Cardinal was singing his heart out when I spied him atop the weather vane. And the Ruby Throat-ed Hummingbird has been stopping by every evening of late.

Mid Spring Tulips 050216

Burning Heart tulips open up yellow with bold red swirls and cream petals. As the blossom matures, the yellow fades to ivory. With heights of 20” – 24” inches, it is one of the tallest Darwin hybrid tulips, making it a great cut flower for arrangements. Blooms in mid spring.

SMITHSONIAN

How do birds―especially the little delicate guys like chickadees and titmice―survive the single-digit temperatures and whipping winds of winter?

It turns out that birds (even the little guys) aren’t so delicate after all, and they’ve got a few tricks up their sleeve (uh, wing), too.

Their first layer of defense against the cold is their outer-most one: feathers. There’s a good reason why people love down-filled winter coats―feathers are fantastic insulation.

“Feathers are incredibly specialized structures that serve many purposes including, for many species, keeping them warm,” says 

“Birds’ feathers provide remarkable insulation against the cold, and the oil that coats feathers also provides waterproofing, which is important since the only thing worse than being cold, is being cold and wet,” Peter Marra, head of the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center at the National Zoo.
