My Maine This Week: Backyard Visitors by Jayne Winters

    • Posted on by

    NRCM member and Critter Chatter blogger Jayne Winters of South China, Maine, shares some photos she has taken of backyard visitors to her home.

    The first photo is a Purple Finch during a snowstorm. The second, a beautiful female Northern Cardinal. And finally, two photos of “Little Red” (named by Jayne) who outsmarted the “squirrel-proof” bird feeder. We are happy to report that after enjoying some seeds, Little Red found his way out and back to his home, likely for a little post-dinner nap.
