Winter Wildlife!

Yesterday it snowed all throughout the day and there is still snow on the ground now! We had fun and here are some pictures.

Enjoy!

See the Squirrel?

Look at all those footprints!


The Juncos, other birds and Squirrels were, and still are hanging around on the patio eating the millet and peanut pieces we put out for them. They are sheltering here until the snow lets up and the weather forecast says we are going to get more snow on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Thanks for reading,

P.S. If you still have Hummingbirds around, make sure to keep the feeders from freezing.
Here are some useful tips about cold weather tips.

Pine Siskin update!

Well, when we got home from getting suet from the Backyard Bird Shop we got an update on the Pine Siskin from the Audubon Society.
They said that he is eating and active, but his wing is broken.

So that's good that he is doing well and staying healthy!

I guess that we will just have to wait and see how it turns out for him, and if he will be able to be released back into the wild.

Good luck little Siskin!!
