Song Sparrow
No. 6722 - 25 Mar 2011 - 12:00:23A bag of sunflower seeds offers the opportunity to make new friends in the small patch trees of a back yard still covered in snow. I am not in the habit of feeding birds and worry about my human impact. Perhaps I need not, as their habitat is also mine, and the way in which they now sing outside my window, in anticipation of their supplement, makes me wonder who trains whom.

Ellice Café
No. 6364 - 11 Mar 2011 - 16:32:30 * No. 6366 - 11 Mar 2011 - 16:40:25
After stepping out into a warmish winter day in Winnipeg
(three degrees centigrade - dressed for Spring)
and enjoying a couple of hours of hospitality and Wi-Fi at the Ellice Café, I was met at the exit by a ten degree drop in temperature and blizzard conditions.
The seven blocks back to my rooms wearing only a cotton jacket were not impossible until I remembered the house keys were still sitting in the pocket of my winter coat, on a hook by the door.
No one was at home and only after a couple of frantic calls, from my refuge at the 7-11 down the street, did I locate one of my young landlords who agreed to face the blowing snow and let me into their little West End house.
Greenhorn!

With down and feathers fluffed up against the cold of the prairies, the tough and adaptable European Starling is noted for its ability to survive on this continent. It was introduced to North America in 1890 where it is now one of the most numerous of birds.
