These are images from Jan 2025.  January was a cold month, weeks and days of temps in low 20's for the high and in the teens for the lows.  Wind Chill temps were crazy low.  I tried going out for walks bundling up for the cold weather.  I usually saw more birds in my yard than on any walk.  


1. Jan 3rd, the female Red-bellied Woodpecker waited while I put out some suet nuggets on our deck.





2. Jan 3rd,  photos are from our walk to the lake. The Hooded Mergansers were seen at the lake near the boat dock. 





3. Below are the Hooded Mergansers, the female is on the left and the male is seen on the right side of the photo.






4. I see birds rights outside my kitchen window, I do not always have to go far to birdwatch.  On this day the Pileated Woodpecker was pecking away at this tree across the driveway. 





5. The male Pileated Woodpecker has an extra red mark on the (cheek) malar. This red mark lines up with the bird's bill. The mark on the female is black. 





6. Miney photos from Jan 11 and the 12th. 






7. I see lots of the gray squirrels here, there is one of the deck railing eating bird food and one on the table drinking water. 





8. So far, Miney is doing great.  She seems easy to train and is a super happy and friendly puppy dog. 




A flashback to a year ago Feb 2024, we had some snow and my yard birds were enjoying any food I put out for them like this Tufted Titmouse.





I am linking up to Heidrun's Mosaic Monday  I hope you can stop by and visit Heidrun and check out the Mosaic Monday post.
