It’s cold this morning here at the Permafrost Ranch, and -20 on the old temp gauge…but here is a little picture of a guy on alert.

The flyers are bouncing off the feeder and the tipi poles hanging on the side of the house…I hear them all night. And Fatso, loves those chopped pecans and almonds.

It’s cold here this morning at the old permafrost ranch. A cool -9 on the old back porch thermometer. This picture of the Magpie at the feeder shows that deep blue color of his wings, along with that bright black and white. Sure makes for a pretty bird. Fatso, is bulking up for the cold weather in his picture. And the flying squirrels are really more active with the longer hours of darkness that comes along with the cold weather.
