A wintry jaunt through the arbo with Dan this mornfternoon. Was icy, no ski or snowshoe trails were open. With temps of -10 to -15, it actually felt like a Canadian winter for once. It’s been way too warm of late.
We had thirteen species in a few hours, including a flyover Great Black-backed Gull. No finches, raptors, or wowls were encountered, but a silent Yellow-bellied Sapsucker was a nice winter surprise. Oh, I got crapped on by a Black-capped Chickadee. Good lick! I mean luck. We got absolutely mobbed by an aggressive gang of at least 20 hangry Chickadees at one point - probably had something to do with all the feeders being empty.
