Frigid weather



The weather has turned very frigid. Last night the windchill was minus 35 C or more and tonight the temperature it to go to minus 27 C but at least the wind is not very strong.

The sparrows must be fattening up for the cold weather as they are eating a lot of sunflower seeds. I see some chicadees back feeding again as are red-breasted nuthatches (photo).

On trips out of town I have seen mostly a few ravens but near a damn at Rivers where there is still water flowing at the foot of the damn I could see some ducks but I was not close enough to identify them.

I guess all the snowbirds who are going south have gone already! The chickens!
