Back in the deep freeze..



On the few trips we have made out of town we have seen few birds just the odd raven (photo) and one flock of small birds that we were unable to identify. Most flocks are of snow buntings but these were smaller and there was no sign of white on the birds.

The bird feeder is visited regularly but birds are few in number and only three species are represented so far: black-capped chickadees, red-breasted nuthatches, and the occasional house sparrows.

The last couple of days there have been windchill warnings with windchills down in the minus forty range. However, there is lots of sunshine and the days are getting longer already.
