The troops have arrived!!!! A Redpoll army!!!

Two going at each other as though there was not enough room!

Hairy Woodpecker hard at work...

Hairy Woodpecker trying out the posts on the deck...

Bohemian Waxwing trying out the crabapples...

and a very chilly Robin...

Blurry through the diningroom doors our wee common redpoll...such a lovely chap.

We have yet to figure these ones out...they are here for the first time this morning.

Isn't he grand?

I have no idea whose foot prints these are, but they made me smile as they came right up to the diningroom door....

a wee chickadee loving the peanuts...

and a bluejay not to be left out!

the hungry mob at one of the old feeders....comtent to stay put!

A very blurry picture as I was tripping over myself trying to get a shot before he flew away...these are all taken through the kitchen window as well...this is one of the new feeders the kids gave me for my birthday and it has taken a few days for the birds to catch on but the peanuts are a big hit!

A common repoll enjoying the peanuts as well...

deciding that the niger seed is preferable!
