The feeder is so busy that red polls often bump against the window that is close by. Usually they fly away immediately but sometimes they are stunned for some time. That was the case today. A redpoll hit the window so hard it actually left a bit of a feather where it hit. I thought it was dead on the ground but a while later it was disappeared. I expect it flew off but I suppose it is possible a cat got it.
There were no new birds today. However, the downy woodpecker was around several times so I put a photo of one in today's blog. The weather is still cold but not unpleasant as there is not too much wind and lots of sunshine. The snow is slowly melting away but there is no water in the ditches by the highway it is that slow. As well as red-polls there are still lots of juncos and the odd chickadee.
