Love is in the Air

"An unfamiliar dog can come up to me and smell 30 different dogs on my pant leg. They know what we ate for dinner and if we are sick. It should have come as no surprise to me, then, that taking three females “in heat” on my Beargrease team would be a really bad idea."

The Pine Grosbeak (pinicola enucleator) flock (5-6 pairs) are still here. They have been here since December 20, 2025. I know they will continue to be here for a few more weeks before migrating back to the north.
There has been a lone female Redpoll (Acanthis flammea) under the feeders for the last few days.
I heard my first Northern Saw-whet Owl (Aegolius acadicus) of the season calling in the woods to the south of me.
The temperatures for the last two days were in the mid-40's (F), today the temperature is more seasonal, in the low 30's (F).

>at the Greenwood Creek Bird Feeders (-16F with 2 feet of new snow), I stopped by Stoney Point on Lake Superior which is 12 miles from my house. This location is often great for birding during both the northern and southern bird migrations. While I did not see any cool birds, some locals were surfing. Uff Dah! The surfers had to dodge ice flows.
