Just Bailey (my rescue dog who thinks he’s my boss) and I - living in Montreal, Quebec. 🇨🇦 🍁
The elusive camera-shy chickadee flies on and off the birdcam so fast sometimes the 4K camera does not capture its flight.

But the camera sure captured my big 11.5 year old puppy rolling around in the snow in the background. He ❤️ the snow and cold weather.

Hopefully USA can learn a lesson from Brazil - *hint hint*

This is King Bailey Peanut Butter! (he had the end piece of my sandwich)

I’m feeling sorry for this squirrel. He must be so hungry to eat chili coated bird seeds - his mouth must be burning hot.
Winter has come early and his food source might be buried.

I think my next bag of bird seeds will be the regular seeds. 🤷‍♀️

Maybe people should print out this image (shared by Gov Newson) on a poster while chanting Piggy. Emphasize the REAL PIG!

This morning, this cardinal got a bit more of snow than was falling - a bird on the roof of the feeder was throwing it at her.

For my fellow Canadians: The Grey Cup game is starting in a few minutes.

For my fellow Montrealers: Go Alouettes Go!!!

The Blue Jays are friends again. ☺️

These Blue Jays seem very agitated this morning. They normally eat side by side - like a couple. But today, one intentionally body checked the other.

Maybe the freezing rain followed by snow overnight left them in a bad mood. 🤷‍♀️

These Mourning Doves have a sympathetic face but they come in groups and stay at the feeder for long periods of time pushing out the smaller birds.

I’m going to refer to them as the winter version of the dislikable Grackles.

I had to change the position of the bird feeder as the white snow was affecting the camera making everything else too dark.

Turn up the sound - you can hear the Canadian Geese flying overhead - heading south.

My birdcam doesn’t only capture birds, it recorded my playtime at the end of today with my 11.5 year old dog. He was literally hopping around - so happy to be playing in the snow.

With the arrival of winter (a little too early), the birds food supply is now buried.

Luckily, the neighborhood birds have found my feeder.

A Finch ONLY food fest was held this afternoon - captured by my #birdcam

The Cardinals are always a welcome visitor to the feeder. Their bright colors contrast perfectly with the white snow.

They didn’t stay long as there is a pod of Grackles in the area that are scaring all the birds. I thought they had migrated.

There’s a feeding frenzy at the bird feeder this morning. I wonder if they are agitated from listening to the electric transformers blowing up or the sound of power surges all night long. Most of my area is without power this morning.

So much for the heavy snowfall - it has turned to freezing rain.

I HATE freezing rain. 🥶.
So does the bird feeder.

Even a mixture of ice pellets and snow doesn’t stop a Cardinal from getting his belly full.

This Blue Jay seems to be in a hurry to eat before the heavy snow arrives this afternoon and this evening. 15+cm

The light snow is just starting to fall and the wind is picking up.

My final fall cleanup is done - final raking of the leaves, outdoor furniture stored away, and the canopy taken down.

I’m ready for tomorrow’s 10cm+ snowfall. Yup - winter is arriving!!!

At least it won’t be so dark at night when I walk my dog 🐕

According to the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, the DOOMSDAY clock is at 89 seconds to midnight.

There is not much wiggle room for error!!!!!!

Here is a snapshot (from the Birdcam) of a Blue Jay approaching the birdfeeder.

So cool to see its full wing span.

My birdfeeder’s simple beauty offers an escape from the daily insane political turmoil. This morning, a male House Finch and a Junco are together in harmony - a truce nature served up.
