Hummingbird 12.05.16

It's December 5th, it's 25 degrees outside, and this little hummingbird is still showing up at my feeder. I've had to thaw the nectar in the morning as it has frozen overnight. I worry about this little guy. I hope it has found a warm place to nest because it's just going to get colder. Maralee

Swan Lake

I came across this swan taking a nap on the river last week. It seemed so peaceful and content. A little while later it was joined by its mate. Such a beautiful couple. Maralee

Mushrooms

I came across these mushrooms growing halfway up a tree. I thought they were very interesting. It pays to look up sometimes. Maralee

Birds

I have seen hundreds of robins flying around out in the country. In town, there are a lot, but not quite as many. I saw this one sitting in a tree while walking one day along with the junco. The juncos are finally starting to arrive for the winter. Maralee
