On the way home yesterday, hundreds of Canadian geese having a pitstop on the side of the road.
On the homestead blog: an assortment of ducks, chickens, and hummingbirds in your weekly flock update! #FlockFriday 🦆🐓
On the Dejus YouTube channel, a slow-mo video of eight hummingbirds at the feeders, plus one hummer using its beak and feet to dislodge two others.
It’s below freezing overnight now, so I’ve put out the hummingbird feeder heater, the heated dog bowl, and the heated cat bowl. Plus the chickens and ducks have water heaters, too, all to prevent the water from freezing. ❄️
On the Dejus YouTube channel: Hummingbirds and a wasp: standing outside a couple of feet from a popular hummingbird feeder, that was also being visited by a wasp. Listen to the hummingbird chirping.
