What would we do without the critters to keep us entertained during these long winter days?
Happy Hour
Is that an albino squirrel? Or just photographic trickery?
No trickery -- we've got a few white squirrels inhabiting the property. However, I don't think they're albino. Every now and again I'll see a coal black squirrel, which are quite beautiful and often think what a nice coat they'd make. I'm kidding! The birds look like Pine Siskin, but I'm not certain of that.
Resin will correct us all, but I think those are Goldfinch in their winter plumage.
Ah, yes, I forgot how much they change from their bright summer plumage to winter drab. That makes one more reason I prefer summer to winter. Actually, December has been fairly mild and I'm trying to enjoy it as best I can. If you're going to live in it, you might as well embrace it. If only I could stop thinking about planting...
I'm thinking a mix of Pine Siskins (streaky flanks) and winter plumage American Goldfinches (plainer).

I thought of female House finches, but then, those are my common ones here. Stupid SBBs- streaky brown birds
