The Ol' Watering Hole ~ These Bohemian Waxwings were drinking water in this bit of melted snow and ice on the sidewalk. While I was visiting in Edmonton, it was unseasonably warm (thank goodness!), with temps in the upper 30's and 40's in the "heat" of the day. This caused melting of snow and ice, as shown above.
Black-capped Chickadee ~ This chickadee was using his beak, working on the log, as seen by the fresh woody area shown near the top. He then hopped up on top to pose for his portrait. I obliged him, naturally.
Black-capped Chickadee ~ This cute chickadee was in the yards in the neighborhood where I was staying in Edmonton. It is a different species from the ones I see at home, so it was a treat to see them all over in the trees there.
