The other day I saw this very small bird way up in one of our trees. A bit too far away to take a decent photo, but I took one anyway. I cropped it so it’s a bit fuzzy. It’s a Northern Shrike – 1st time I’ve seen one of these here. So a new bird to add to my birds page… click here to view.

Sometimes it’s like the old west in our area. We often see cattle drives down our highway.

There was at least 30 Grouse and Partridges feeding on spilled grain by our grain bin. I’ve never seen them group together like this.

Nov 20 - Grouse and Partridges.. the fuzzy one in the back is the Grouse.
