A sure sign of winter

Hanging Around

Winter Cardinal

It sure is cold in Michigan right now! A couple inches of snow have fallen on the ground and the bird feeders have been crowded all day. What are you seeing today?

Current visitors at the cabin

I'm excited for fall migration and the birds that winter brings!

On Guard

I'm so excited! I am expecting (well not personally, ha!) Tree Swallow babies!  How about you? Do you have any bird babies in your yard yet?

Curious Gray Jay

If you whistle or have some food for them....then you might attract this gregarious bird. I love the Gray Jay!

It's a mad world....

Is it just me, or does this Evening Grosbeak look mad at me? Which reminds me, last week at school I had two Canadian geese chase me across campus hissing at me. Seriously - isn't bird lover written all over my face???
