Chasing winter birds - 01/28/22 03:29 AM

Not many birds on the frozen prairie this time of year as everyone heads south for the winter. Starting to think that’s probably a good idea for me to. Winters just seem to get long. Here’s a few bird pics from the winter.

There seems to be a lot of voles this year, good conditions for the raptors.

Saw two of your specimens today Tray. Cedar waxwing and Snowy Owl
It is interesting that the Cedars did not migrate south this year. have yet to see a Bohemian w/w

Strange year still peeling a good amount of fat off of the skunks here about to top off a good sized bucket with white fat most years they would be packing less fat now some years a paper thin layer by now. The critters know what’s up it seems like.

Haven’t seen a Bohemian yet this year either, sometimes will find one mixed in with the flocks of Cedars.

Sharpie has been hunting the sparrows and Redpolls on my bird feeder, not uncommon for them to show up but they are always so skittish that I’ve never been able to photograph. Finally got this bird to sit still for his pic, photo lifer 414.

Great pictures Tray, thanks for sharing. I was waffling between sharpie or coopers until you replied.
