Our World Tuesday: snow is back

We're not out in the snow today. It's blowing a blizzard and the white stuff is piling up. Not fit for man nor beast. Dick had to cancel an appointment today — Lindy and I were going to go with him on his drive to Calgary, and picnic on the way. Ha. Did not happen.
We've had quite a few lovely days, and with the last of the previous snow we had lots of birds. I don't know where they are now. We don't even have penguins! LOL Here are a few of the species we have seen in our world:


Common Redpolls

I wonder if there's anything under here.

Camera Critters: redpolls picnic at the park


I wonder where the other redpolls are. I found enough lunch for all of us.


Here I am! I'll be right down!


Just don't sit over here when the wind is blowing.
It ruffled all my feathers!



Oh, there they are. Looks like they found lunch.


This one is my favorite.


Good thing there's something different for everyone.
