All Quiet in the Backyard

This morning, a few voles, some late night-early morning feeders. The chickadees, nuthatches, magpies, gray jays, and stellar jays are about all we've seen lately. We have seen two brown creepers in the past two weeks. No owl nor other unusual bird. Of course, the one sighting of the golden-crowned kinglet was a big surprise. I found out that sometimes they do linger on into the early winter, as long as they can find frozen bugs, and sometimes they even feed on suet. That was a new one for us.

Awaiting a midnight marauder in the form of an owl. With all our voles showing up nightly, we think some predator will pick up on that.

Cold temperatures and some fresh snow, blowing about in this morning's brisk breeze.
