Goldfinches and pine siskins in today's dwy of snow

Living here at the eastern tip of Newfoundland, face and eyes, as we are, into the Northwest Atlantic Cool Water Blob, we are accustomed to April snow. And May snow. And for that matter June snow.

And so are the birds.

The goldfinches have been around all winter. Some winters, the pine siskins hang around all winter. But this year we started seeing them at our feeder only a few days ago, in mid-April.

This morning, 19 April, we had a few cm of snow and it blew up like a blizzard to start with. That got the little birds in a feeding frenzy.
