It's sporadic. Some days I got a bunch then none. When I do some woodpeckers, bunch of finches and an occasional cardinal.

 

I'm not sure what changed but I've gone through more suet cakes since last spring then I have the last 4-5 years

My feeders are getting mugged right now with the cold weather coming. 

Even the squirrels and bunnies are at it.  

I have like 6 of the fattiest squirrels on the planet, and I'm trying to give them all cardiac arrest by dumping all the old Christmas cookies and treats out there.  They eat everything!  😆

Gold finches have been flocking to the feeders lately. Here is a picture of one that still looks in summer color.

Beautiful evening and the robins are signing all their favorite tunes.

Saw about 20 robins on the side of a snowless hill down in Chaska 2 weeks ago while fishing.  ;)

I just call them fish flies but don’t really know what they are.  Tons of em were across our yard last weekend.  And I know they come from the trees.  Last year when I was trimming on the lift in April they were all over the trees, high up.

 

We just had another big flock of robins come through.  While eating dinner we saw or heard:

 

Robins

Cardinals

Sandhill Cranes

Crows

Eagles

Red tail hawk

Mallards

Geese

Swans

Turkeys

 

and…. *other*

 

It was loud outside for a while.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
