Mount-Royal Cemetery, December 21, 2022
  Went for a brief bimble in the cem, and refilled the feeders while George is out of town. What to report? Sixteen species encountered in two hours, mostly concentrated around the feeders. Bucket loads of House Finch (at least 35). Nice to see the Red-bellied Woodpecker out and about. A Red-tailed Hawk was being annoyed by a dozen or so American Crows. No sign of the Wood Thrush.

What else? Getting cold up there. Panic on the streets! ONCEINAGENERATIONBOMBCYCLONE!! It’s winter.
