Wednesday Walk - Fur Buddies Enjoying Warmer Weather...

in WE ARE MOVING3 years ago

Finally we're getting some warmer weather with above freezing temperatures starting the melt although, as you will see we have a lot of snow so it will take awhile.

Here's how Bruno feels about the warmer weather...

Bruno With a Big Smile

He loves romping through the bush and loves to snatch some of our firewood to carry around the yard.

Even JJ ventured out although he doesn't seem as happy as Bruno. He even came for a walk down the lane for it had been freshly plowed.

The picture below gives you an idea of the amount of snow left in the yard

JJ had to stop and clean the snow off his toes every few feet. He was happy to come out for a walk with us but not very happy with the snow on his toes!

He was happy to find a dry spot on a chair when we got back in the yard so he did one last cleaning then sat in the warm sun for a bit.

We had another fur buddy to come out and greet us - actually he started scolding us when we came to close to his feeding grounds.

We had a lot of bluejays watching us from the pine trees.

The mating season has started for the bluejays so you often see them in pairs.

There was a pair of downy woodpeckers too.

This woodpecker was getting his food off the feeder and some redpolls were on the branches surrounding the feeder waiting their turn.
