This morning was another crisp one.  It was a balmy -34C at 8:30am.  The temperature climbed to -27C by 11am.  The cold did not inhibit the woodpeckers.  They took turns at the tray feeder on the deck.

A male and a female downy woodpecker took turns at the peanut bell until a male downy woodpecker showed up.  When the big guy arrived, he took over the feeder and was not about to move for anyone or anything until he was done feeding.  They kept me entertained for an hour.

The deer arrived at that time as well.  I love watching the fawns when they come into the yard.  They come running in just as children would run into a playground to get to the equipment.  They leave their mothers behind.

What a joy it is to watch the forest creatures enjoying my yard.  It is the best entertainment I could possibly have.
