Spring has Sprung

Five below here this morning, but the days are getting longer. We saw our friend, the brown creeper, this morning. Also had our pine siskins, nuthatches, stellar jays, and chickadees in for feeding. The other day we watched as a redpoll sat in a spruce and ate spruce cone seeds, seeds fluttering away in the breeze, and reflected on why we haven't had redpolls to our feeders this winter. A spruce grouse walked over our deck the other day, on its way to some exposed gravel in the front yard under the spruces there.

Sunny days, cold nights. Looking forward to breakup.
