Well, it seems that not all the Goldfinches have left after all, just the parents. We have two babies still coming to the thistle feeder: one male, one female. I still hear them singing sweetly in the trees. Glad to know they are still here. So are the Ringed Turtle Doves, both parents and their babies (2, we think). Wonder if they go back to the Los Angeles area or where? Sure is a curiosity.

The weather is changing. The nights are much cooler now and the highs are staying in the eighties. The baby Hummers are starting to bulk up. We haven't tried to count them yet but I would guess we have 20-25 birds. They will be leaving about the end of the month. We always miss them so much at that time. But we really look forward to seeing the winter birds come in.

All for now. ~ SDA
