Life On and Off an Acreage

In-sights into moving from an Acreage back to Town, plus a few things I find of interest.

Two things that horses are scared about:


1. Things that move
2. Things that don't move




Old enough to be eccentric, but not rich enough

Whats new at the Feeder?

With the temperature still at -28C and -47C with the wind chill, the feeder has been very busy the last 10 days. We seem to be hosting 6 Blue Jays several times a day.

 There are also 8 Chickadees that come in after the Blue Jays are finished.
 There are also about 30 sparrows that like throwing shells around. This one was fluffing up the feathers.

This Bald Eagle wasn't at the feeder, but in a tree by the dog park. No matter what the temperature, Daphnie insists on her walk twice a day. I was surprised the camera didn't freeze up.

Here is a female Pine Grosbeak. She and about 10 others come in the morning and again in the evening.

More Critters that have Hatched Out

These guys hatched out of the front hedge, and have worked their way around to the apple trees. Fortunately they escaped the dogs and neighbours cat.

 He  Looks full grown, but is still a little in the "Dumb" category.

 He is very watchful, but not inclined to fly. It looks like Mom and Pop have abandoned him


 His hiding attempts leave something to be desired.


 These guys have also hatched out by the hundreds! Hopefully the sparrows will get it under control!

 Not very pretty up close.

 We need more birds, fast!
