Winter bird-watching at Fletcher Wildlife Garden

I went to the Fletcher Wildlife Garden today hoping to see some birds (especially this one recorded from two weeks ago).  I did not see the owl but ended up seeing many regular wintering species, and most of them were hanging around feeders or trees with fruits.

Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis)

 White-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis)

Storing seeds inside a tree crevice.

American Robin (Turdus migratorius) enjoying the berries on the tree.

 American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis)


An ear-full or a museum of Bohemian Waxwings (Bombycilla garrulus).


Posing for photos.

This is a House Finch (Haemorhous mexicanus), I think.

Hairy Woodpecker (Picoides villosus) pecking on a tree stump at ground level.


Dow's Lake covered with snow.


Snow everywhere.
 

Winter is finally here.

Can't believe I was in BC a week ago.  Feels like a long time has already passed.
