\Another new bird for the year appeared at the feeder yesterday, a pine siskin (photo) The feeder is now very busy with oodles of slate-coloured juncos feeding constantly. We went overnight to Winnipeg and when we returned late Saturday the feeder was almost empty. This is the first time this year the feeder has been emptied! Most of the seed underneath the feeder is also gone.
On the way to Winnipeg we did not see too many birds. There were quite a few geese though and some of the sloughs are already unfrozen and there were some with a few ducks on them.
Aside from the juncos there are still some red polls and house sparrows about. Of course the black capped chickadees and the odd red breasted nuthatch also visit.
