Winter skies over a beautiful snowshoeing morning

Just a few Viburnum berries left this January, being eagerly eaten by a pair of voracious squirrels.
Doing the 2020 Christmas Bird Count route that includes the flatlands around St-Clet we were disappointed to not have snow – a bit of ice but that was about it. On the other hand, this was the location where we enjoyed a flock of Snow Buntings.
Birding any time of the year is good but somehow it is best in the winter – fewer birds, that’s true, but the ones you do see are the hardy sort and you get them to yourself without crowds on the trails.
This unusual fellow appeared for a few very cool and snowy days over the Christmas period 2013/14 – he or she should have headed south but had fund some feeders and seemed to be quite content.
