. Since the very beginning of the pandemic, Chéri and I have been feeding our neighbourhood’s wild birds. It took a couple of weeks before getting our first sparrow visitors. Sparrows are very common in our area, and it just felt normal that they were the first to squat our bird-feeders. Little by little, we…… Continue reading Dove duet…
. Not everyday, but it just seemed like a good title. The past couple of days, it’s been snowing in Freezingland. Not anything near a snowstorm, but enough to know that it was time to grab the shovel, and take care of business. Well, I say that, but Chéri did offer me to stay in,…… Continue reading Everyday I’m shoveling….
. It is no secret that among all our little feathery visitors, cardinals are my favorite, so far. They come everyday, at very specific times, and have such distinctive ways of singing that I rarely miss them. They are on the shy side, though, and don’t appreciate my spying on them. Last spring, I caught…… Continue reading Go Daddy!
Remember the twins? I wish I could, for just fifteen minutes straight. My sterling twins are incredibly cute, but as previously mentionned, they are loud. Oh man, do they tweet from the top of their tiny, yet ultra powerful lungs! And they love my balcony with a passion. It doesn’t have anything to do with…… Continue reading And then there were four…

Sparrows, cardinals, blue jays, tits, woodpeckers and many more that I haven’t…… Continue reading Meet the twins!
Today, I have mixed feelings… In the last 24 hours, the province of Québec recorded 1397 new cases of Covid-19. It is the worst we’ve had since the beginning of the pandemic. Unlike the first wave that was concentrated in the Montréal area, the second is spreading widely across the whole territory. People are tired,…… Continue reading Mixed feelings…
One of the things that has made my life more interesting since Chéri and I locked ourselves in our apartment, is bird watching. Now, to be honest, that’s pretty much 95% of sparrow-watching. Which can seem not so exciting. At the beginning of the summer, my wish was to get a cardinal to visit…… Continue reading Blue…
Noon is always a busy time Chez Cyranny. But when it’s raining, it seems like the whole sparrow community agrees that it the place to be. (When I took the picture, there were about twenty more little fellows on the balcony itself) I am kind of worried for my feathery friends. We first hung…… Continue reading Lunch time!
