End of April Birds

As April Draws to a Close,  our winter favorites have stuck around a bit longer then usual, and a couple new faces decided to make an appearance!

Mr Pheasant came back for a visit.. Him and the Mrs spent the winter in the bull pen, and now that it is warming up, they seem to be around the house almost daily! Time to put out their food again!

Redpolls have stuck around for quite awhile..

Dark Eyed Juncos have made an appearance..

Bickering Common Redpolls

And our yearly group of Killdeer have shown back up!!

New Birds #166, 167

Went out to Kenosee on April 27th, and Managed to Spot 2 new birds!
First was a Pair of Evening Grosbeaks

Next, was a fast flying pair of Common Merganser!!

Silly Cats

The cats have really been enjoying the warmer weather.. Silly puss was climbing up a snowbank, and fell face first into the puddle on the other side.. Hilarious faces he made!

All Dried off, and Still not Impressed!
