Gonna be some people in several states cleaning up their gardens, yards, fixing damage to houses from tornado damage.

A common winter birding misconception is that there are few birds to enjoy during the coldest months. In fact, many beautiful and unusual birds are eager to visit feeders in the winter because of scarce food supplies. There are so many species of birds you can spot in the winter. From the Bohemian Waxwing to the Snow Bunting, you have your pick of majestic birds to look for in freezing temperatures. These 12 birds are just a few you might find at your feeders in the winter, if you know how to attract them and what winter foods to offer for a tasty and nutritious treat.
Nice summary at the link of all the winter birds:

Good Morning! :-)
Good morning, from balmy Buford, Georgia, where it is serious tornado weather. I love this weather!
Love this .... one of my favorite sayings, similar in a way, is based on Matthew 10:29-31 - “His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me”. I have a small bird bath with that saying on it.
Feeling very ‘reflective’ right now ... back home from a graveside service at 1:00. Beautiful service ... simple, meaningful (the Pastor knew the deceased and added some very special, personal touches). Funerals around holidays are especially tough.
No gardening or outside work for the rest of the day - big front coming through with fairly heavy winds/rain expected. Radar is showing leading rain about 60 miles away. Very gray clouds are ‘scudding’ by in a hurry as the front gets near. No severe weather warnings, just wind gusts.
I’ve got on the Christmas tree lights, cup of coffee (put on a 2nd pot) and counting my blessings.
Have a great weekend, everybody. ~Q
