Daveography 🇨🇦Also saw this family of northern flickers in our alley. I don't know why, especially since I'm not superstitious, but I always associate flickers with good luck.

Haven't been to the nearby natural area in a while, it felt a lot more thick in there than the last time we were there. Probably because we've had some pretty decent rain this year.
Took a nice walk in the forest. Fed some chickadees. Feeling pretty good now.
Also saw some downy woodpeckers, white-breasted nuthatches, and some yellow-rumped warblers.

"The study shows that the adult [least flycatchers] are heading south earlier in autumn — two weeks sooner than they would have 32 years ago."

Two of several hundred waxwings that braved today's frigid -20C weather to descend on this mountain ash tree and partake in its abundance of bright red berries.
