A quiet day, with flurries accentuating the brisk cold air.And that type of climate makes the feeders most active. During one moment, the female PURPLE FINCH with its cousin a female House Finch perched on the same feeder while all around them Black-capped Chickadees filled the air ( but not as many as flurries), with their flurry of energetic action. Both Nuthatch species stick to their regimen
( and I am still adjusting the feeders' positioning to deter those irritating squirrels ! )
ON the lake, 4 HOODED MERGANSERs, spilling over from yesterday's sighting, occupied mostly the lake middle most of their time.
