Birds Galore!

Went for an outing to Kenosee...

A couple noisy little chickadees were around...


An unexpected group of Finch (Purple I believe) was around


Also spotted a Downy woodpecker, a few Blue Jays, and a White breasted Nuthatch...

Then we went on to another place..


This cheeky little Downy Woodpecker was around...


And the chickadees were defending their territory!
