There were a few days early in April, where we had so many redpolls congregating on and around the bird feeder!

Critter of the Day: now that’s a mouthful!
Critter of the Day: cold!
This was taken during the snow storm we had on April 15.
The juncos weren’t even feeding, really. Mostly, they just sat there, all puffed up, making the odd, desultory peck at some seeds.
It must have been quite a shock for the juncos to be back for the summer, only to have winter hit them, instead!

Critter(s) of the Day: braving the storm!
All caught up with March, and now posting photos taken this month.
These were taken on April 4 – the day I drove my husband to the hospital in the city for some tests, and got him back to his room at the local hospital, just before a storm hit.
The weather outside may have been nasty, but that didn’t stop some hungry redpolls!
If you look behind the birds, you can get some idea of just how windy is was – like in the first one, where you can see seeds being blown away!

Critter of the Day: what a crowd!
A couple more bird pictures from February.
Some days, we would get huge crowds of birds, all at once. They’d fly in and out, en masse.
When I was taking these, it was all redpolls and pine grosbeaks. There were so many, they seemed to have driven away the chickadees and blue jays. For a while, at least.

Critter of the Day: lost bum
Critter of the Day: looking forlorn
February bird photos; moving on to blue jays, who have not been very co-operative about getting their pictures taken! ;-)
He looks so forlorn, in this one!
Checking out the human in the window! :-)
