The Kinglet

This morning, our little golden-crowned kinglet was flitting thru the spruces trees for about 30 seconds. And our junco sighting has turned into an almost-daily one. We're glad to see the temps rise a bit today. Windy too. Of course, we have still seen all the usual winter birds. One chickadee with a deformed beak, getting worse by the day. Snowshoe hares are still coming in, pure white. And an occasional moose tromping thru and getting the birdseed that is available to their snout and tongue.

We've heard and seen big flocks of redpolls, as well as small groups of crossbills, no visits to the feeders though. So many spruce cones and seeds for them.

Our kinglet has been here all winter, apparently. We've seen him about 5 or 6 times since November. That's a first for us.
