Chili Ron Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Howdy, I have quite a Christmas crowd. 50 mph wind darn near blowed my COAT off. And minusssss 12 or 15 degreeez farinheight. A good sized scoop of bird feed has the little fellas wing to wing for lunch. Ive never seen so many on the feeder at once. They cleaned out the first load. So I put out a second one and they are back an bringed their feathered friends. My dear dad fed em in the ezzact same spot for many years. Ive seen migratory birds stop for a visit but not today. Not much snow but it travels darn fast. Best CR Hungry lookin cardinals got me to put out a third load too. That wind is just so mean. CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 No birds are flying here and squirrels are elsewhere. Using the tree limb wind scale, we have gusts to 50. The ambient temperature is minus 11. That puts the wind chill during gusts to about 45-50 below zero. My visit to the Twin Cities from North Idaho hardly qualifies me as a Snow Bird!!!

Pat Riot, SASS #13748 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I have 4 bird feeders that I maintain for my fine feathered friends. This morning with the snow and the wind all their avian rivalries seemed to vanish. Got some nice photos through my kitchen windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyesa Horg Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Do you have Mrs. Cardinal too. We have one of 2 pair that seem to be wintering here. They always remind us of Ellie's departed Mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Devil Dale Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Bird feeders here tend to be bear feeders, every time the critters wake up. They know where the feeders are and bee-line straight to them. A bear can eat a whole 25# bag of sunflower seeds injust a few minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Love feeding the dove, my beloved quail, and tweetie birds just over my back fence. The quail will see me casting seeds over the fence into their feeding area and they come running and talking, letting other birds know "EASY FOOD!!" Definitely the wild birds need the high calorie food as they burn a lot of calories staying warm through the night. Photos I've taken of my feathered friends. The Pyrrhuloxia -- a.k.a. Desert Cardinal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend’s grandson is considering moving back to California having lived in rural Montana the last six or eight years. When I asked him why he said “ The weather. It’s every year, I could stand it if it were only every few years but IT’S EVERY DANG YEAR!” Seamus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
