Shopping trip to Brandon



We drove about 250 kilometres to Brandon and back. The windchill this morning was about minus 40 and the temperature minus 29, ridiculous for March. Nevertheless there were more birds than I have seen recently. There were several ravens but all of them by themselves. We also saw two flocks of snow buntings and also a flock of some other birds I could not identify. There also two smaller birds that I could not identify.

At the bird feeder there have only been black-capped chickadees the last couple of days. However, this evening after I got home I saw all of six house sparrows at the feeder. There are obviously still some around!
