As of 7:55AM Snowy Owl, presumably the same one David Diaz spotted
yesterday, is back near the same spot. Just now it was silhouetted
against the ridgeline quite far from the road, but beautifully
illuminated by the sun. Incidentally, I saw what I again presume was
the same bird back on Dec. 3 in
After visiting the compost 3-4 times a week, I finally had some success
this morning which more than made up for all of the gull-less visits I've
had this January.
2 1st year Iceland's were sitting on the compost rows along with 2 Lesser
Black-backed Gulls.But the highlight was definitely the
My gosh,
I wouldn't have guessed that I could get so many helpful tips about
somewhat sedentary SNOW. Thanks so much. The 16 person field trip looks
like it may well be a success. Of course, the weather forecast is now
for warming (which you might think was a blessing, except) with
Just wanted to let everyone know that there are indeed two sides to the

Redpoll).
I've also seen chickadees hovering to sip from melting icicles.

It is my understanding that it uses much energy for birds to convert snow to
water. Which is why it is advisable and beneficial to provide liquid water to
a bird in winter who may already be very close to an energy deficit.
And one of my favorite ever pictures of Marie's is of a

This video of Auburn crows (click on the word link below) is just a tiny bit of
what we see each evening as foraging crows return to Auburn to roost. It's an
