Embrace the Twinkle: Cozy Winter Nesting with a Bird-Themed Tree

Embrace winter by extending the twinkle season and decorate a tree for cozy nesting. This bird-themed tree adds some sparkle for the cold, gray winter months, decorated with bird ornaments, glittery nests, snowflakes, icy branches and pinecones.

Happy Monday, I hope you’re staying warm and cozy!

Snow is a rare occurrence for us, so I was hoping we’d receive a white fluffy blanket,

but Mother Nature only brought us an inch of snow, before switching over to sleet.

Our last significant snowfall was in 2018.

I had several comments in December inquiring about my Winter Nesting Tree. . .

my favorite way to embrace winter, along with curling up with a dog on my lap

and a craft project to keep me warm and cozy!

I’m continuing the tradition of our winter tree again this year,

which makes for cozy winter nesting!

For new readers, our Winter Nesting Tree is a tradition that started several years ago

to extend the twinkle season into the months of January and February,

when it’s cold and gray outside.

It’s good for my mental health to turn the tree on in the mornings and evenings

and enjoy the twinkle of the lights, especially when it’s dark and dreary outside.

The joy of winter birding extends indoors to our Winter Nesting Tree,

 decorated with bird ornaments, as well as glittery nests,

 snowflakes, icy branches, snowy white bands of sparkling ribbon

and pine cones.

Bird ornaments collected over the years, flock to the tree

looking for a cozy place to nest for winter.

Other than the addition of a new bird ornament or snowflake,

our tree doesn’t vary much from year to year. . .

There’s a Nuthatch. . .

Cardinals. . .

 Chickadees. . .

Woodpeckers . . .

A Titmouse

And several unidentified bird varieties that are sparkly and shiny!

A parliament of owls have gathered on the tree. . .

See them gathered at an ‘Owl’ Be Your Valentine Whimsical Table.

Most of the owl ornaments came from at Hobby Lobby over the years. . .

their Christmas ornaments are 50% off starting in October

and sell out quickly! 🦉

Whoooooo would have guessed there were so many varieties of owls? ;)

DIY Nesting Owl Ornaments were a fun Christmas in July craft project. . .

Along with DIY Sparkling Nests.

I’d love to hear in the comments if you have snow! ❄️

Hope you’re staying warm and cozy in your nest! ❤️
