Yesterday and today I donned my snowshoes and struck off for a walk up through the meadows and woods with my binoculars at the ready. Pretty much the same cast of characters on both afternoons ....... a flock of about 25 Cedar Waxwings a flock of about 35 Robins all feeding on the bittersweet at the edge of the meadow. A little further into the wood was a female Hairy Woodpecker working pretty hard at a dead tree. A couple of White Breasted Nuthatches and a few Chickadees here and there in the woods. As I was heading home throught the meadow a flock of 5 Bluebirds flew right over head ....... today only. Mundi Pownal
