It is -40C, and the Pine Grosbeaks have ice on their brows. They remain undeterred and tough as heck, while also looking most pretty. #burds #yukonbirds #yukonterritory

This year in the Yukon, the Christmas Bird Count is on December 20th. I am so excited to watch the feeder and to go walking in nature to count them! #birds #christmasbirdcount #yukonbirds #audubon
A male Pine Grosbeak eating sunflower seeds A male Pine Grosbeak in a Birch tree, and sadly I am a really terrible photographer so it is only focused on his bottom. It is a dang cute bottom though. A male Pine Grosbeak eating sunflower seeds who is clearly wondering why I am watching him eat. A blurry male Pine Grosbeak in a Birch tree. Learning to focus properly has taken me 10 million years and I am still inept.

Pine Grosbeaks give me joy. It is only light out for a few hours here at this time of year and seeing birds is happiness.

Sweet and fast little Nuthatch, zipping here and there. A tiny but interesting voice. Love you. #birds #yukonbirds #yukonterritory
This is a nuthatch on the trunk of a spruce tree, upside-down. It was so sprightly and fast.

To get to the sunflower seeds, the Pine Grosbeaks have to contend with a lot of snow. They are angelic and lovely and sometimes have intriguing arguments with each other. Wish I understood. Love you. #birds 🪶📷 #yukonbirds

Pine Grosbeaks came to the feeder today. They are wonderful and fun. #yukonbirds #birds
A male Pine Grosbeak sits on a branch of a Birch tree. He is red and pretty and looks like he is thinking. There might be a sunflower seed in his mouth but it is hard to be sure.

Not many songbirds lately but a nice visit from a Magpie. #birds #yukonbirds

These two birds visited this summer, but sadly I can identify neither. That said, they are exactly who they are meant to be. #birds #yukonbirds
A light-coloured bird sits on a poplar branch or a bright sunny day. I can’t tell what kind of bird, but it was wonderfully pretty. A lovely bird sits on the branch of a spruce tree. It was enjoying eating small seeds from a bag of bird seed called “finch favourite” earlier that day. Not sure at all of the name of this sweet love. Dear bird in a spruce tree. It is possibly thinking the most incredible thoughts. In fact this is likely. Imagine what it feels like to be a bird!

Crossbills and I think a Pine Siskin but who knows. Birds good. #yukonbirds #birdfeederwatch
Yellowish bird that might be a crossbill but I do not know. Either way, hope you day is great as the world burns slowly to death and wraps its organs in plastic. I am pretty miserable today and this is not the way we should use alt-text.

Crossbills and pine siskins I think. Happy to see them no matter what they are called. #birdfeeder #birds #yukonbirds
Reddish bird with a curved bill that slightly crosses over itself sitting on a white hanging bird feeder enjoying some sunflower seeds Small songbird that might be a pine siskin perched almost upside down on the branch of a birch tree. Pine siskin, a small songbird with pale brownish greyish whitish feathers and dark eyes that give such kindness. It is eating birdseed called “finch favourite” and it makes a very neat song. Pine siskin, a small lightish songbird with a gentle and curious expression. It is eating at a bird feeder and has some birdseed in its beak.

Friends at the bird feeders. Some are year-round, but many come this far north to nest and rear their little ones, and then they are gone again. Sweet loves. #birds #birdfeeder #yukonbirds

Sometimes I stand under a tree, not moving, pretending that I’m not a gigantic humanoid but instead also a tree. The Common Redpolls know better and are not fooled. I love them very much. #birds #birdphotography #yukonbirds

So busy but still they sing. Common Redpolls again, blurry shots today but my fault for watching them eat and flirt. #birds #yukonbirds

Going through some very old journals and finding lists and truly awkward poetry. I am too old now to cringe at harmless garbage like this but to make it up to anyone who sees this, added a picture of a common redpoll from a few weeks ago. #badpoetry #commonredpoll #yukonbirds
