Was -38 and he expired . Is it common for them to winter in the north ? You can ride a fast horse slow but you can't ride a slow horse fast .

About the only thing you see for birds is great horned owls, snowy owls, buntings, redpolls, english sparrows, starlings, pigeons, and collared rock doves will be in town. Some Canada geese winter on the river 100 miles from here. "Not Really, Not Really" Mark J Monti "MJM you're a jerk."

Wish it would get cold earlier, and run those sucker out before snaring was done. They congregate by the thousands around here in the early winter, eat up everything. They eat a bait pile in a day, only thing that helps is a real cold blast to run them farther south.

Thanks for the education on the various bird species .Strange that I did not know the starlings might stay .Pine beetles got most of our lodgepole near the buildings so the chickadees not around .They are my favorite .In the past I would tell my wife "spring is close " when the chickadees started singing "dee,dee .
