It’s hard times to be a songbird in our part of the world. While our normal high temperature is around freezing we have not been above -5C for 13 days now.

I have not yet been able to take a good photo of any of our many visitors; here is a photo I took years ago of a Northern Cardinal after an early April snowstorm.
It is a bitter cold time in our part of the world. The temperature has not risen above -5C for twelve days, which is unusual. Though today was sunny it was especially bitter: -11C with a brisk wind blowing.

This is my last cross-post to Facebook. Once again I invite those followers to click the link to my blog and follow me by email. Or you can add the URL to your favourites and visit at your pace.

I will take Wednesday off and return Thursday.
