Totally captivated in 2007 by the live camera feed of the Hornby Island nesting Bald Eagles in B.C., I was drawn into birding and have never looked back. Thus begins my account of what I'm fortunate enough to discover each day and perhaps capture with my camera.

Feeding Frenzy in the Snow


Everyone was in a feeding frenzy today ahead of tomorrow's next round of arctic temperatures.  

As the snow began to fall, American Tree Sparrows focused on one thing: feeding.











Is it possible the overwintering Red-winged Blackbirds regretted their decision to stay behind?











Wild Turkeys shamelessly followed me for ten minutes, begging for food:








Even a couple of desperate Hairy Woodpeckers shadowed me:





But it was the dainty American Tree Sparrows that captured my heart today:








Eastern Grey Squirrels frantically foraged for food in the snow:








Timing is everything, I roared when I saw this photo! 





Stay warm, little ones!
