Fighting For Survival

Winter Finch


-15 Celsius today. So it's tough to stay alive if you are a tiny finch. Spotted this one on the spruce hedge at Bergdalen just now, eating from a cone.

  5. I think our birds are having a tough time too as they aren't used to this mind-numbing cold we're having...the worst since we've moved here. Not like Sweden, of course, but this is supposed to be Florida!

    Great capture, Steffe.

  14. The bird feeders are full. And I also try to give them bread and some nuts for the squirrels.

    Tack för det Karoliina.

    That feels a bit hot Gordon.
