Hunting bird migrations to Manitoba

I was outside doing some yard work and came up on this little fellow in the grass. I picked him up ,, gave him a drink of  at the feeder and placed him on the foot piece of the feeder.. he took another drink and after a few moments he kind of gave a big shake and off he flew.. Temps here in Manitoba have not been warm this week and these little fellows need lots sof pollen or surgar for them to sttay warm..

Manitoba spruce trees

43 rings in this tree..We are in process of putting a new house into the yard and this tree was not going to allow movers to get it into the space.. So out comeas the Stihl Chain saw and down the tree comes… this will make a nice spot to stand a flower pot..
