A male pine grosbeak in a spruce tree.
Not much shelter from the wind in there!

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.

More February bird pictures. This time, a pair of dandies!
Look at that further one, all puffed up in the cold! :-)

Some more photos from January.
I don’t really think of the grosbeaks as a particularly large bird, compared to some of the others around, but they sure look pretty big when with those little redpolls! :-)
