Male Cardinal at our feeder,  we had 15 at the feeders late yesterday.

Brown Thrasher at our feeder.  We got 7 inches of snow last night and he has been her for two days now.  Should have gone south a long time ago.

Christmas day 2015 at our place.  We did get a white Christmas just in the nick of time.

Even a little snow and cold will bring the Cardinals and Goldfinches to the window feeder.

Junco at our window feeder.  We have good numbers of Junco's but most of them prefer to feed on the ground rather than come to the feeders.

Got a dusting of snow yesterday and the ground is white in sheltered areas.

Sunset Dec. 9, 2015.  We have no snow, with a high today of almost 50 degrees F.  We are running almost 20 degrees above normal.

The Goldfinches are still here, and will probably stay with us until we get a good cold snap.

Tundra Swans south of Brownsville, MN on Dec. 7th.  The warm weather has kept several thousand swans in the area this year.  The very cold weather in November of 2015 drove the swans east early last year.
