Well the title of this post pretty much sums it up. It's almost the middle of december and the the temperature's dropped to - 40'C with the windchill and the Bald Eagle is _still_ here. On the drive to the mall I spotted the eagle cruising the fields looking for a snack. It's just crazy how migration's been so delayed this year.
Most of the birds that take off in October were still here up until 3 days ago...that's almost a 2 month delay!! I haven't seen the Starlings, Bluejays or the woodpeckers since the icewave hit...maybe they'll show up once it warms a bit...or maybe they're just done for the year.
Either way it's been a great year for birds...the heated bird bath seems to be confusing them a bit...there were actually sparrows bathing this morning! The dust bathing has continued as there's not much snow to speak of...the quarter down on the patio seems to be the favourite spot...and that's about it!
