The contrast between a grumpy Brown-headed Cowbird regretting not migrating south and a Tufted Titmouse thriving in the snow. As it cools down again, I also contemplate migration, but like this cowbird, I'll just stay put and complain. ❄️🐦

On a lovely winter walk with my dog and hubby when we came across this Red-tailed hawk perched in a tree, closely studying a flock of pigeons. 🥰⛄

This weekend I wanted to be in Algonquin park looking for winter birds. Instead I am stuck inside during a snow storm. Throwback to last year at this time going to Amherst and Wolfe Islands in search of owls, and spotted this Snowy.
