Day 50 - 19th February 2018 - Ice, Red Breasted Nuthatch and Canada Goose

Happy Heritage Day  (I think that's what the holiday is called)! It's a relatively new holiday for us, some provinces call it Family Day. I'm still not sure I even care about a holiday in February, would rather have one in finer weather but they've made it a statutory holiday which means everyone gets it so all is good!  Chilly out there this morning, but promises of a sunny day with temperatures going up and staying mild all week. Owls are hooting back and forth down the road but not close.Got the lunch preps done yesterday, some laundry, fun things like that around the house. Larry did a little clean out too. Snowed hard all morning, about 6 inches down, but after lunch the temperature popped up a bit and things started to melt, trees are bare again now and I see a patch of green grass under the fir trees along the property line. Maybe later this morning we'll get some birding in.

 Love the ice this time of year, sparkles and shines when the sunlight hits it.

 Spied this Canada Goose on Saturday right in town.

Red Breasted Nuthatch.




Enjoy your day!
