#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

Today‘s haiku is inspired by the spotted dove cooing & singing this morning. (I borrowed this picture). Not native to Hawaii, the spotted dove was introduced from Asia in the 1800s.

Morning Sounds

The spotted dove coos
A soft plaintive melody
Outside my window

#FridayHappyReadingHour
We need a better hummingbird book- I have seen 3 varieties at our feeder, but only 1 is identified in the tagged book. Suggestions?
Enjoying Tost Sparkling Wine, thanks to @Amiable while happily reading.

dabbe @spenmoll @TheBookHippie @Aims42 ... I don't know if you've seen these, but we absolutely LOVE these hummingbird feeders. 1st: easy to clean. 2nd: the birds can actually REST while drinking. 3rd: No need to use the artificial dyed food: just a 1:4 sugar/water ratio. 4th: Our birds LOVE these feeders!

Aims42 @dabbe Oh wow! I‘ve never seen this style of hummingbird feeder, I love your reasons!! Thanks for the link!!! 2w

Amiable Which aisle in Big Y was the Töst? I went looking at the one in Old Lyme the other day but didn‘t find it. I probably walked right past it. 2w

dabbe @Aims42 Yay! Let me know if you like them! 💛🤎🧡 2w

mcctrish I‘m going to get one of this style feeder for my sister for her cottage - Happy Friday 2w

kspenmoll @Amiable I am going tomorrow so I will check. It was on a top shelf- not with soda, next isle. Will let you know. 2w

kspenmoll @dabbe I have one of these but I need a second! I did not even realize about the perch thing. The one I have is in garden. But now I want to replace the kitchen window one that is so active & we all can see them. My garden one I have to be on the porch. I do make my own sugar water, so easy! Thank you!!!! (edited) 2w

dabbe @mcctrish YAY! 💛🤎🧡 2w

dabbe @kspenmoll 💛🤎🧡 2w

janeycanuck Not a book but have you used the Merlin app? It‘s from Cornell and it‘ll identify birds by photo or sound. 2w

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

Cloudy sunrise & morning today in Hilo but I still had coffee on my balcony with the Merlin app who in a happy coincidence, listed my bird of the day as Red Junglefowl then identified its crow (what I would have called an ordinary rooster!)🐓inspiring today‘s haiku.

Oh Red Junglefowl
Merlin sings your name at dawn—
I just hear rooster

Night Owl | Toni Yuly

I found this picture on mondaymandala.com and saved it to my phone to color in a coloring app and I colored it. I wanted to share a memory I have of my dog Toppy before she passed away on October 25, 2024. I‘m a night owl and it was cool that I got to hear owls hooting in the middle of the night. One owl was singing in a high pitched voice and the other owl was singing in a low pitched voice. They sounded good together.

The White Egret | Shingi It?

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

My morning included running an errand & while I was out, I grabbed a takeout breakfast & sat at the nearby boat dock reading, sharing my scrambled eggs with a cattle egret, contemplating my life choices & writing today‘s haiku.

Sunday Boat Dock Sojourn

Small waves kiss the shore
Breakfast with a white egret
Sunday zen settles
