BBBBrrrrrrrrrrrr! -21 degrees C. The sky was awesome and the birds were brave. A CAROLINA WREN by my kitchen window. The Niger feeders were filled with 13 RED POLLS & 23 AMERICAN GOLD FINCHES and 35 JUNCOS were scattering themselves over the spillage of niger seed on the ground in competition with 14 SQUIRRELS.
In my drive through the country I viewed 64 CEDAR WAXWINGS on the third Concession, east of Lamb Rd on the north side, feeding on the Juniper and Blue Spruce trees. When I drove by the PINE GROSBEAKS there were at least 50 that lifted off when I arrived on the north side of Concession St. east of Bragg Rd. Driving along the fourth Concession east of Regional Rd. 42 and west of Highway 35/115 I sighted 12 HORNED LARKS, 1 COYOTE but no SNOWY OWL. Directions: Exit 440 to 590 Mill St. south and the same directions given to Concession 4 west off highway 35/115 and from there take Regional Rd. 42 south to Concession St. west to just before Bragg Rd.
