Leap Day morning romp
Lots of these around the feeder and in the trees
I think the two-toned bill clinches it that this is a Tree Sparrow. Range and behavior makes sense. But I have a little doubt because the breast looks a little bit
too streaked. Really the only other possibility is Song Sparrow. Maybe a more expert birder could weigh in. ...

Oh fer cute!
Another one who's hard to catch
This little fellow has been darting around the feeder off and on since early January. Today the big squirrels finally managed to knock the thing off the post. It's a happy day for the little guy because he can't reach when it's up where it's supposed to be.

Baby thaw
Plenty of water
It's been a depressing week of weather. Except today, which was pretty nice, almost 4 C.
Wednesday about 10 cm of snow fell topped by about 4 or 5 cm of rain. This caused
street flooding all over the place because all the storm drains were choked with ice and snow. What a mess! Of course, it froze, turning the driveway into a hockey rink.
Today featured a little melting, and it was nice enough to take a walk with the camera over by the Salmon Club.

Tufted Titmouse
Hard to catch
I resorted to the lower-res still camera in the Canon Optura video camera with its 14x optical zoom to get this nice closeup. These little guys almost never sit still and smile for you.

White week
Veazie neighborhood scene
This is just an ordinary scene at a neighbor's house. I liked the angle the fence comes in and the way everything is coated. Snow has been coming slow and continuous for several days now.

Snow day
Prettiest snow this year sticks to everything
They did not close most of the schools, not that much white stuff. But except for this post, a day off blogging.

Feeder was busy this morning!
Hungry
In addition to the downy woodpecker, I saw about six or eight chickadees, a blue jay, a northern cardinal, and a tufted titmouse.
