Add to this: Searching for owls in fir stands....not hunted in.... Searching through ducks and geese for the unusual until they do leave...... Trying to outsmart the smart squirrels who think that I put out the seed for them.

Always the chance of a surprise visitor at the feeders. Will the Pine Siskins and or Red Polls appear in the numbers experienced two years ago? What will the January/February Cardinal numbers be this year? Christmas and GBBC counts. Traveling the backcountry roads looking for Pheasants and maybe a Gray Patridge as well as swarms of Snow Buntings and Horned Larks. What else can brighten a snowy cold winter day like the birds?
