Just about that time of year when the Little Brown Jobs (LBJs) start appearing. But here in the far north it’s snowing and rather gloomy.
So, what to do?
It’s time to drive down a nearby road looking for grouse. While you probably can’t see it, there is a Spruce Grouse about 150 meters down the road.
Here’s the grouse collecting grit.
The the bird flew up into a small Jack Pine where we had great views.
Mind you the whole time it was lightly snowing.
Along Whitefish Point Road we also found two Ruffed Grouse.
And finally, a Hoary Redpoll at the feeders among a hundred Common Redpolls.
We got home and got a fire going and made pancakes for breakfast. As I said, no grousing about the weather or the day. It’s what you make of it.
More tomorrow…
