Chickadees at the Bird Feeder


 A chickadee busily shells a sunflower seed to get at the meat inside,

while looking up to check for predators every few seconds.

Snowfall

Temperature; 0°C
It was still dark when we awoke to find ourselves in the midst of winter with a light snow falling.  For a time, nothing stirred until one of the lake's Bald Eagles flew to a spruce tree at the foot of the hill and perched in its topmost branches. S(he) was obviously settling in for a while to overlook the lake.
