Bohemian Waxwings.
We missed a good episode of Auroras a few days ago. Lots of cloud cover. It has cooled off a little, but not enough to clear the skies. The snow has melted in the valley bottom and everything looks grey and dusty in the lengthening day.
Hard to believe we are almost a month into 2026.

They are a very nice bird to watch. It looks like you had a Nuthatch at your feeder. They are tough little birds.

I’ll be happiest when we’re about 3 or 4 months into the new year as I hate winter with a vengeance!

Ha ha! It will be over before you know it. Our winter has been warm and overcast. It would be nice to have some blue sky at any temperature.

we had 3 weeks of -8 including during the day at the start of January – probably would feel warm to you but I found it horrendous. Then we’ve had really strong east winds for most of the month with the resulting wind chill. My body had had enough of it by yesterday and went into shutdown for a whole day. Mind you, it wasn’t a day to be outside anyway so it picked a good day for it. I felt sorry for the birds I feed in my back garden!
