#BlueJays
07:03 in the morning after a stormy night. These Blue Jays are always hungry and also very wet. The last one seems very intrigued about the new 1080 wifi camera.
These are probably the last of the American Goldfinchs from this season that have been feeding on the Blue Jays' station before their migration.
This is the breakfast for our big friends the Northern Ravens. Another rough Canadian winter season is approaching and food is getting rare on the side of the roads, so, we're give them a hand with more protein. Fresh pork liver sliced and chicken egg. They're just really loving it.

Some forgotten pictures from this Summer of a female Ruby-throated and a Black-chinned male Hummingbird.
This is not a big quality picture since it has been taken with a Samsung mobil and pretty far from it this morning but, it is always a good moment when we see our big friend, the Canadian Crow, arriving for breakfast.
Singing on a tree on this beautiful foggy morning, while waiting daddy to come back home and bring breakfast. So cute.
Canadian Ravens are such beautiful species.

#SuetForBirds
Today was the time to install our simple homemade suet for birds near the Blue Jays feeding station. You can easily customize it by adding ingredients of your choice and it's much more affordable than buying one. This one is simply made of animal fat and small pieces of meat from our local butcher. It is free of preservatives, dyes or any additives that could be harmful to birds.
All kind of birds stay around here for the winter and it is why, if you love birds like we do, it's necessary to give them fat to help them maintain a high level of calories and energy when they need it the most.
Ripped off feather from a Mourning Dove was found on the snow after some arguing over safflower seeds. I've seen many feathers in my life but never like this one.
Black-capped Chickadees are some of the North American brave ones, non-migratory, who stay the entire Winter with us. They are the most docile birds I've ever met.
Almost January 1 2020.
Why still so much Goldfinch at this time of the year? They are migratory birds, right? Is it because of the lack of snow; the mild temperature, like -5c, or is it simply the Winter that is cut in a half and the Spring is already at our doors. Well if it is? will take it as very good news.
It also means that more sunflower seeds are needed.

#HairyWoodpecker
The thing with Hairy woodpeckers is that their becs are really not adapted to open seeds. So while they're looking for the easy one, the feeding station gets empty real quick.

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words; but what about a video?

#FeedingStation
This feeding station for Ravens is located high up on the hill. All feeding stations should always be built the simplest way as possible to not disturb the birds and the environment.
It's just too bad that we can only receive a couple on this one. Which is Jack & Diane, cause Ravens are extremely territorial. But it's ok, these are our preferred ones and when the nesting period is over well, we can enjoy the entire Raven's family to gather here for a big bonanza feast everyday for a couple of weeks.
