Our team managed to find 17 species ,in weather conditions that actually made headline news as some of the coldest on record. Minus 55 degrees celsius with the windchill !
And my friends and I were out in it !
Highlights for us were a Northern Shrike , Purple Finch , A Hybrid Red/Yellow-shafted Northern Flicker, Pine Grosbeak and a straggling White-throated Sparrow.
I'm still waiting to see how everyone else did.
Here are some photos :

Stunning images Nick, great collection.
These are magnificent! No surprise.

Nick - I yelled out "wow" when I saw the 1st photo of your waxwing and ended up scaring my cat who was sitting next to me. He ran into the next room.
I can tell how cold it was by looking at the little sparrow, so fluffed up to stay warmer. Great photos.
Thanks everyone :-)
Every one is a winner! I've never seen a bohemian Waxwing - we have cedars....it's so beautiful.
Wow... that Pine Grosbeak made my jaw drop... Absolutely gorgeous photos Nick!
Wow! New to the blogger world and first time to your site. Incredibly beautiful photos.
