Little birds and other things enjoying the bird feeder

I apologize for the quality of these -- handheld through a dirty window. I still thought they were kind of cute.

Redpolls I believe swarming the feeder

"Oh, I am so-o-o-o-o full." The look on his face cracks me up.

1. I love it!

What a fantastic 'capture', Blue!
He needs some alka-seltzer!!

2. Yep, those are redpolls

I'd love to photograph some one day. My goal, it is achievable, is to try to find and photograph at least 90% of the documented bird species in the US!

3. They're all over the place here this time of year.

Others you'd probably enjoy seeing here in the winter are the huge flocks of Bohemian waxwings who love the berries on the mountain ash. And, of course, the ravens and magpies hang out. I'm glad not all the birds fly south.

4. So you have both moose and squirrel happenin' up there!

Love that rodent.

5. You bet!

Rocky and Bullwinkle live, and you could probably find Boris and Natasha up here, too. :)

6. You need a carrier or two in the Bering Strait

It's the only way to safeguard the state against them damn cartoon Russkies!!!111
