December 22. All seasonal animals are gone or gone under for the winter. There seems to be more snowshoe hares and weasels, both long and shorttails, than usual. Also the fox is around once again plus moose come in and out. Birds are a different story though with just the Gray and Stellar jays on a regular basis plus the crows. It is a bad cone crop this year so few seed eaters and that will probably old for the winter which is too bad.
Below right is a Rosy Finch as it perches under a building eve for the night. They do this much of the winter though my guess is they fly to Mt. CB to the feeders in the daytime. Otherwise they skim seeds from plants still sticking out in the snow.
