This is a photo of the rock dove or common pigeon. We saw many of them today around downtown Brandon near the railroad tracks and MacKenzie Seeds building. We saw several flocks of small birds on the way in, probably red polls. On the way back we saw one lone raven.
The bird feeder has plenty of red polls this morning as well as the occasional chickadee. The seed level went down low enough that I decided to put in more seed. After we got back from our trip I saw a downy woodpecker on the feeder several times.
The birds seem to enjoy the warmer sunny weather. However, it is not that warm. It is still about minus ten and tomorrow night it is to get down to minus 25 again but at least that should be temporary!
