After that one bitterly cold snap we've had fairly warm temps, and the earth is confused about when it's time to grow. Bulbs are well up, but also the many weeds in the pasture. My chickens will be quite happy! Your birds are lovely. What a handsome owl!M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-44492891627615647712017-01-15T15:39:58.029-07:002017-01-15T15:39:58.029-07:00Thanks for stopping by, Susan!

Thank you for going back and getting photos.

The owl is beautiful. Glad you were able to identify the juvenile Northern Shrike and snap the chickadee in flight. This morning I drew back the living room curtains and there was a robin perched on the neighbour's fence very close to the window. I was so pleased to see it as the gale force winds we've been experiencing must be disturbing to small birds. We have had many trees crashing down as our city and surrounding countryside is well known for its wooded areas in contrast to the moors beyond. We are expecting snow by the end of the week so these little birds will be sheltering in the hedges and bushes around here I'm sure. Thankfully there are plenty of berries to feed on.Linda Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10634839688042592781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-44584675481811087332017-01-11T18:03:02.756-07:002017-01-11T18:03:02.756-07:00Amazing owl.

The shrike is very nice too. What a lovely day to go for a walk. Its clouding up here again for some more rain until Friday. <br />I have only noticed lots of cattle egrets flying over. Lots of Canadian Geese too. They nest here in the winter. Well down by the river. Not many as in times past. I have been out lots now that the leaves are off the trees. I am glad you were able to get those cool pictures. Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.com
