Fun surprise visitor
today, where I actually put on my spikes to refill baths and feeders because the frozen ground made puddles treachery… I had a Common Redpoll visit! These guys usually seem to appear in flocks but in my yard, they seemingly only come in singles. I had one single one last year and one today. They are tiny and cute. I hope he brings his whole family back tomorrow. The bird bath is clean and feeders are full.
Greetings from the small crowd.
They are enjoying te relative calm at the feeders and preparing their winter stashes of nuts and seeds. Left to right: American Goldfinch, Black-capped Chickadee, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Tufted Titmouse.
