It must be winter! I'll start looking for Harlequins now, too. We sometimes get them in the winter near the Purdy spit, but it's still an occasion when we do!

I don't understand all these people who go south in the winter. That's when a lot of the good birds show up here.

Christmas Bird Count tomorrow.
