Comes around for dropped bird seed. Well I really think quite a few of them come around.

How adorable! Unfortunately in Florida, the only visiting four legged critters we get are Moles, Armadillos and Raccoons. Have you thought about putting out seed special for her and her friends?

Oh there is tons of food for them. They climb right up to the feeders and I have a squirrel feeder they go into. Last year I had six. I don't think the babies have showed up yet.I think an Armadillo would be a nice treat or even a racoon. Haven't got either and I know most people do not like racoons. When the Saskatoons are ripe these little guys climb all over the bushes to get them

That's a great photo of your baby crow, Marg. Sharon, butterfly looks like it is the Northern Pearl Crescent. Thanks. I googled some other photos and the colors were a bit brighter than on the Alberta Insect site. I think the ladybug is the Three-banded lady beetle, though. Check it out...there seems to be white outlines around his black markings. Thanks for that link. Here is a link that might be useful: Three-banded Lady beetle

Oh sheesh, I think what we rescued last night were Mom & Dad, not the babies. This afternoon the babies are still cheeping at the top of their lungs in there. I guess I will have to keep an eye out for anyone else needing help. Mom & Dad must have got on the wrong side of the damper by accident. I can hear when they fly in and out so I will make sure to listen that they're ok and still coming back to their babies today. Hope everyone's ok! :0 Laurie, yes they are lucky I noticed them, I was just going to bed and DH noticed that the cat was going nuts in front of the fireplace, LOL. Maggie found them for us.

The male pine grosbeaks are such beauties, aren't they? Lately I've noticed that the 4 males visiting my yard seem brighter, or redder. They must be getting geared up for a date and a bit of nookie! I had no idea that grouse went up into the trees. But I guess it makes sense - when everything on the ground is so snow covered, what else would they eat. We had nuthatches early in the winter - white breasted here at home and red breasted at work - but I haven't seen them since. DH saw an owl just outside of town a yesterday and from his description it sounds like a Great Grey. I want to go hunt him down, but it's been snowing pretty good since I got off work yesterday. Great photos, everyone.

She was nibbling on a Laurel leaf willow that was too big anyways. Had been knocked down by the wind . It grows like a weed so no problem. In fact she is welcome back to keep pruning it any time she wants.
