Another Frosty Morning

This morning early, Stellars Jays reminding us that they needed peanuts. I thought for sure someone was at the door knocking. After about an hour later, we saw our Shrike. He always sits in the same place in the spruce tree to the right of our kitchen window. About three hours later, he was there again. Creatures of habit. The brown creeper has been around this morning as well. We saw one black-capped chickadee last week with a distorted beak. First one in ages. Other usual visitors to the feeders are our two kinds of chickadees, nuthatches, magpies, gray jays and Stellars, and an occasional fly-over by ravens. No siskins or redpolls since the one pine siskin last week. One block away, our neighboring business has several mountain ash trees, visited by Bohemian waxwings. Nothing to bring them to our house though.
