365 Days 2024, January 14th/Icemageddon – Sunday

Posted on January 17, 2024 by Mokihana
My new yarn bowl!
It’s made from myrtlewood, black walnut, and purpleheart. I can’t wait to pick it up. It was made by a local woodworker.
Two daily hummingbird wannabes.
Even with auxiliary heat on, our heat pump is having a hard time keeping up first thing in the morning. But I’m so grateful it’s working!
Daily hummingbird trying to stay warm. I keep switching out the feeders for him.
Olsons’ barn across the valley. The ice isn’t deep like snow would have been.
This is the way I had to photography Bessie ands Kiko; it was too slick for me to walk out on the deck. Daily pīpī.
Lani Moo peeking out of the barn. That’s as far as she got. Kiko was braver than she was!
Downey Woodpecker.
Juncos. They don’t call them snowbirds for nothing!
Downey Woodpecker and Junco at the suet feeder.
Nuthatch and flying Junco.
Mourning Doves joined the crowd!
Flicker with a Junco waiting his turn.
Daily hummingbird.

Whew! What a day this has been! We are incredibly grateful that our power has stayed on!

    I envy that you’ve seen a nuthatch. I hear them in our ‘hood but I’ve never seen one. And I still can’t tell the difference between Downey and Hairy Woodpeckers. I don’t blame da pīpī for not venturing far from da barn.

    Nuthatches love forested areas; when I first heard one I thought it sounded like a VW Beetle horn!
    Hairy Woodpeckers are much bigger, with a longer bill. But I must admit that sometimes when I look at them on the feeders, I can’t tell which one it is!
