Indiana Winter - A Little Bit of Everything

From Frigid to Frozen
 
 
Several days ago
we were experiencing
wind chills of down to -40
with snow.
 

 
 


Today we might be called
the Frozen Chosen.
 


 
Fortunately, it is melting.
But, did I mention
there is snow and high winds on the way
tonight!
 
Some might say,
"Our weather is for the birds!"
but
I'm sure the birds would say,
"We've had enough!"

Happy New Year 2018

Wow!  It's been awhile since I posted!
 
 
Winter, Snow and Cold Weather
have definitely arrived.
 
The Cardinals add a lot of color.
He thinks he is pretty great,
but she is a beautiful lady.
 
 
 
Sometimes there is a lineup at the feeders,
and there are some who do not like to share their space.
 
 
It was so unusual for me to see
a Red-Headed Woodpecker
at this time of year.
Usually I have only seen them in the Spring.
 
 
This one seemed to have a rather unusual beak.
 

 
This little Downy Woodpecker was getting impatient
for the big Red-Head to leave the feeder.
 
 
The little Carolina Wren seemed to be having
a bad hair day....It was kind of windy!
 
The Nuthatch is such a regular visitor,
I often neglect to take it's picture;
however, it rarely sits still long enough
to have one taken.
 
Yes, indeed, Winter is here!
 
 
 
We're supposed to have a
wind chill of -20 for New Years....Burr!!!

Don't Forget Me

This morning it was raining pretty hard. I finally dashed out on my kitchen deck and hung out a couple of feeders. It wasn't long until it looked like an airport with all the take offs and landings.

Most of the time they waited patiently for their turn.




It wasn't too long until a couple of little hummingbirds
were buzzing around the deck. I had neglected to put out
their feeder. So I dashed out once more.

Sometime later, this beautiful Mourning Dove landed on the deck railing. I see these doves frequently feeding on the ground or occasionally on a platform feeder closer to the ground.

Today I think it decided to risk flying up to the deck to check out what was happening; for you see, because of the rain, I hadn't put any food out down below. I had forgotten all about him.


The dove apparently decided it did not want to risk hanging from the feeder



....... and would just wait below for one of the "little guys" to drop some seeds down.
