The extreme cold still lingers on here but we are suppose to get some respite tomorrow and get more average temperatures. I'm ready for it, for this -40 Celsius was beginning to get me as we aren't able to get out for our walks. I only step out in early afternoon when the sun is shining on the deck. That's alright though for with this extreme cold more and more birds are finding their way to our feeder. Have a look at the number which were on the maple tree by our deck (excuse the squeaking door but the oil in the hinges thickens when it is this cold) -
Here is some of the fellows in the pine tree. They are the male evening grosbeak with their bright yellow color.

The females have a more muted color as you can see in the photo below -

While the evening grosbeaks have their bright yellow color the male pine grosbeaks have a brilliant red coloring.

The juvenile male pine grosbeak hasn't got it's full feathering of the red plumage as you can see in the photo below -

It wasn't long before the grosbeaks felt secure enough with me on the deck that they began descending on the bird feeder to get that much needed fuel of black oil sunflower seeds.
It seemed the male evening grosbeaks were the more dominant birds at the feeder as you can see in the video below -
Usually the bluejays stay up in the trees when I'm on the deck but I guess this bluejay was hungry enough that he came to join the grosbeaks at the feeder.

And there were a few redpolls huddled in the trees waiting for a turn at the feeder.

I'll leave you with final view of the grosbeaks on the mountain ash tree with the sun shining through the spruce trees. It was interesting for my camera caught a double image of the birds in flight.
Hope you had a beautiful sublime Sunday and Happy Valentines Day to you all!
