Above average snow fall, below average temperatures and to many grey days.
I'm looking for spring.

...and right over there is Santa's workshop
and just beyond that is the North Pole.
While birding in Ohio it was cold enought to be the North Pole.
Anybody have a different caption for this photo? Have fun.

Have nest will travel
After searching a stand of pines for long eared owls, Anne realized I had nest building material in the hood of my jacket.

Give me a break!!
There we were birding in south eastern Ohio, minding our own business whe a camel wandered by in the background.
Now it was cold, VERY cold and my brain may not have been working normally, but, CAMELS in Ohio.
Really!
We were at the Wilds, a reclaimed coal strip mine. As well as rehabilitating the area they have a few wild animals.
Camels, cheetas, African painted dogs and rhinos.
The camels are from Mongolia and don't mind the cold.

Holy pileated Batman!!
We have had pileated fly through the yard before but this is the first clear photo we've been able to get.
Anne saw it fly by and realized it had landed in the willow tree. She grabbed the camera and quickly took two shots. This one work..

Shattered
We had a flood a few weeks ago, then it froze.
When the water receeded the ice was left hanging from trees and bushes.

Tanks a lot
I don't know why they have it or what they do with it, but what a Christmas present.
No excuses for not getting to work on a snow day.

Pine siskin
Pine siskins have turned up in fairly large numbers in the last few days.
They mix in with redpolls, sparrows and juncos.

The redpolls are coming the redpolls are coming
Anne was able to get a photo of the common redpoll that showed up Thursday.
They have been in the area but this was the first time we noticed them.

Banana Belt
South western Ontario is often referred to as the Banana Belt. Usually we have milder weather due to the lake influence moderating the temperature.
This is Point Pelee, the southern most place in main land Canada. Pelee Island is a few miles out in the lake.
Not so much banana this year.
In the spring there is a great migration of birds. My favourite is the wood warblers.
