Day 351- 21st December 2017 - Berries, Goldfinch and Song Sparrow

Brrr...the temperatures have dipped down again and it's windy, but apparently they are going back up tomorrow. Wednesday was a freaky weather day. Sun came out, got dark, hail, rain then snow flurries most of the afternoon. There is still one lone Grackle that hangs around the yard most of the day. The large flock of Mourning Doves try hogging the feeders, making it difficult for the smaller birds to eat. I'm sure 6 Mourning Doves can cram themselves into a feeder that 4 Chickadees couldn't. Don't get me wrong - they all have to eat but some are greedier than others. Larry put a little more wood in the basement but then found the deck was getting greasy so gave it up. Have to send him into town later this morning to pick up some things which will give me a chance to whip around getting things done.

Not many berries left in our area.

Goldfinch settled in for breakfast

Our resident Song Sparrow.








Enjoy your day!
