Rudolph’s apprentice

I have seen few birds around of late. While the geese remain plentiful, ravens seem sparse. Even trees with red berries seem to get few visitors. However, a few did come.

This is a Pine Grosbeak female feasting on rowan berries. I waited for more to turn up; they did not.

A Townsend’s Solitaire was helping itself to some berries from a unknown cultivar.
