There are flocks of house sparrows voraciously eating from the feeder now. I think they anticipated our recent snow flurries and the very cold weather we have now. It is close to minus thirty C this morning.
Just outside the ring of sparrows below the feeder is a lone junco (dark-eyed or slate coloured who knows!). It must have been reading that global warming is happening much faster than anticipated. All his brethern are skeptics and left for the south about a month ago.
I have seen a number of chickadees the last couple of days. They seemed to be missing for a time. There are also several red-breasted nuthatches.
