Winter Backyard Birding

Black oil sunflower seeds transformed my backyard into a small avian metropolis.

This blue jay was eating bugs from a maple tree branch in the freezing-cold temperatures yesterday! He’s quite resourceful.

Another frigid morning. It went down to -7.5°F (-22C) then reluctantly warmed to -3. Maybe into the 20's today and then a week or more above freezing. What will we do with ourselves? ":^)
Watching birds yesterday and on landing they'd do a quick fluffing shrug, then smoosh that onto feet. The result was a puffier bird, no legs, braced against the cold.

Wintering. At -20 C the critters and birds need to stay fed.

Aghast at racism in the news, and my neighbors are tired of me screaming in the back yard, so I guess I will start with the Corvidae - still learning more about the Passerines. Signed up for Birds of the World - a wealth of information. I was terrible in Biology at University, so this has been a struggle to understand.

Common Bluejay, a great mimic of Red-Tail Hawks that love acorns. They line up for peanuts at our feeder in the morning. Notably, the blue is due to light scattering rather than pigment.

@Priyajsridhar
People have also used other creatures like caterpillars -- or bird migration patterns. If I could give any animal the power to predict winter, which would I choose?

I'd pick a bird, like a Blue Jay, and if winter was continuing for 6 six weeks, it would stay blue. If spring was starting--it would turn bright yellow.
