A white-breasted nuthatch appeared right as I was taking pictures of Mr. Cardinal (very grumpy).
Yep, that's how we feel about the winter too, my little buddy.
This house finch stayed in the hopper feeder for most of the day
With the temperatures creeping up above -10°C on a sunny afternoon, I put on my flannel-lined jeans & tall boots and tromped down to the grocery store.
The #YEGbike crowd will note the scraped-clear pathway on the east side of 111 St between Southgate & 63rd Ave. The west side path & connectors into Parkallen were still just footprints in the snow. With mostly packed snow on lanes & side streets, I could have managed my wheeled grocery cart, but I only had backpack & hand carry.
