It was -14 today and a cold -14 so it was cold, but that keeps the birds busy eating enough to keep warm

The Starling... back again today... there was a blackish purple one with them we assume was a male...



A Downy Woodpecker, not a great shot, but today's shot, they all can't be show stoppers..



Mr. and Mrs Purple Finch...





A couple of active chickadee images...





The Star of the day was the nuthatch...







Tomorrow the feeding starts bright and early... be there or be square.

The red-breasted nuthatches are hilarious. We get them every few years here, for mysterious reasons.

That TC combination seems to be working nicely, I'm glad to see that.

The Blues Jays, Nuthatches and Woodpeckers were all brought to the feeder by their parents as fledgelings and have just remained close to the feeder ever since. They all disappear for long periods of the day, apparently most birds don't like to have more than 20% of their food from one source, but we see them every day as long as at least one of the feeders is out with some food in it. In the summer, none of them comes around very often, but we still see them from time to time.

The purple finches and the nuthatches are great Norm. Always enjoy your birds.
