Pine Grosbeaks are back!




The snow has finally stopped and there is bright sunshine. Although it is a bit below freezing the sun is melting snow on the roof and creating large icicles. The birds are very active at the feeder.

Red polls still predominate. However, there are also chickadees and a few house sparrows. I also saw a downy woodpecker again. I have posted a photo of a downy. Also, at the feeder for the first time in many days are a few pine grosbeaks.

We will be going back into the city tomorrow. I will keep my eyes open to see if there are many birds in the countryside. We drove to Shoal Lake today but the road was so icy I kept my eyes on the road rather than see myself in the snow filled ditch!
