Nice natural pictures of a northern Canadian winter - well done.

Thanks

Nice pictures, love to see them.
metalman.

nice pictures. Good to see that other people feed the wildlife. We have the Grosbeaks, and the foxes and the neighbours cats we feed all the time. Makes you feel good to help them keep warm and healthy for the cold wearther.

Can someone tell me what these birds eat? This is an awsome photo, thank you for sharing

Good work on the picture

Thanks, I enjoyed the pictures as well.
Would love to see some of those colourful birds in my feeder...must put out some better grub I guess.

Are these common here? I've been here a long time & never seen one. Weird.

I see lots of paw prints under and around my feeder, so i guess my resident fox sees some cafeteria action too. Hopefully it is only mice.

That fox looks almost as big as some of the coyotes I see running around down in the lower mainland.

It seems we used to only see these birds in the feeders in the spring and the fall for short periods,perhaps as they were passing through to parts unknown?
Now I am seeing them all winter long in the last 5 years or so.
These guys can crunch up a lot of seeds in a day with those short,fat beaks!

Awesome pictures. I like the colored wood peckers we see everywhere lately...almost tropical looking birds what ever they are.
