Monday was bread baking day.




The buns were for a dinner at La Maison de Les Fowler's celebrating TT's birthday. In attendance were Bryan, Razor(!), TT, Sir Edwin, me, Grasshopper and Chef Extraordinaire Jose. Missing was June.





I've been trying to get good pics of the male redpoles, but they are extremely camera shy. You will have to blow up the pics to see some colour. 


A nut hatch came by.





This chick-a-dee kept posing up close.


Making wind power today. As a side bar did you hear that Ontario Hydro customers are getting a rate increase (plus HST) to cover losses caused by a fine for over charging on overdo accounts? They were charging 60% interest and were fined 18 million in fines and court costs. The Ontario Energy board agreed that YOU should have to pay for that. Who are paying these guys anyway? 

Solar/wind power to the people! Just say'in.


Thanks, I feel much better now. Now it is time for another public safety message. This weekend is Men's weekend at Little Tomiko, so lock up your women, children and rat dogs.

Nice bird pictures.

Keep your eyes open for the two different kids of redpolls. I've never seen a certain Hoary Redpoll. You are right at the southern limit of their winter distribution.
