Little Chip was up to his eyeballs in snow while looking for dropped seeds. Until we have a heavy snowfall, he might pop out again.

  1. Great photos as usual everyone! Jane Knox, your sparrow eating a frozen worm is a Fox Sparrow. Happy New Year to all!

  2. Confess to be a lifelong but uneducated birder. Used to have small flocks of what I thought were yellow grosbeaks come and take over my feeder but they just disappeared after a few years. Can anyone simply tell me why?

  3. WOW!!!! An amazing group of photos this week! It goes without saying I am a huge fan of little Chip (thank you Jane Naliboff)!! The close ups of the birds are precious and informative. Thank you all!

  4. Grosbeaks come and go. A few years ago, I had Rose Breasted Grosbeaks in Chesterville for a few days. I haven’t seen Evening Grosbeaks in years. It is such a treat to see them when they do show up.
