Some hummingbirds at the feeder, while we experience a little unexpected light snow. 🐦❄️

On the homestead blog: It’s Friday. You know what that means. This week, chickens enjoying wriggly treats, ducks in various places, and some brave (or foolish) birds. #FlockFriday 🦆🐓
Please enjoy a @YellowCottageHomestead TikTok video of hummingbirds on a snowy day:
The snow has almost all gone, and we have power, so time to put the heating pad back on the hummingbird feeder. 🐦
This is what we call hovering room only. ❄️🐦
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 14 is “compassion”. We are still without electricity from the ice storm, but I have compassion for the several animals dependent on us, including the hummingbirds; our feeders are probably their only source of food. ❄️🐦📷 #mbfeb
The hummingbirds have been very hungry today; I’ve already refilled the feeder twice, and I wouldn’t be surprised if I need to do it again. With the snow, the heated feeder is probably all they’ve got. Plus, duck footprints in the snow. ❄️🐦🦆❄️
Yowza, at least 15 hummingbirds on the two feeders. 🐦
The hummingbird feeders were frozen this morning, so it was time to add the heater. It’s a thermostatically controlled heating pad that hangs below the base of the feeder via paperclips, and ensures that the sugar water doesn’t freeze. 🐦
