I'm not sure who has trained who here, but we both benefit.

Also saw this family of northern flickers in our alley. I don't know why, especially since I'm not superstitious, but I always associate flickers with good luck.

Haven't been to the nearby natural area in a while, it felt a lot more thick in there than the last time we were there. Probably because we've had some pretty decent rain this year.

Took a nice walk in the forest. Fed some chickadees. Feeling pretty good now.

Also saw some downy woodpeckers, white-breasted nuthatches, and some yellow-rumped warblers.

"The study shows that the adult [least flycatchers] are heading south earlier in autumn — two weeks sooner than they would have 32 years ago."

Two of several hundred waxwings that braved today's frigid -20C weather to descend on this mountain ash tree and partake in its abundance of bright red berries.

Haven't been out to feed my friends in a while. Brightens my day every time.

There's someone I don't see in the city very often: a Pine Grosbeak!

"Help us choose a bird to represent our city, raise awareness about how important urban wildlife and biodiversity is, and to celebrate Edmonton's birds! The Bird Friendly Team consulted hundreds of local naturalists and members of the public to narrow the list of candidates down to six great choices. These birds are all found in many Edmonton neighbourhoods and natural areas throughout the year."
