We had our first taste of winter this past week and all the leaves are turning colors. I love the changes. There is also a change in the birds on the Rancho. The newest arrivals are: a Red-breasted Nuthatch, a Ruby-crowned Kinglet (he's a favorite who returns every year) and just a couple days ago, some Yellow-rumped Warblers. We also saw some migrants, 3 Sandhill Cranes heading south, probably to the Bosque del Apache NWR. We really haven't seen any big migrations yet. But soon there will be the day that we will see thousands of cranes flying over and raising such a ruckus! Stay tuned.
A glimpse outside our windows of the birds visiting our humble Rancho Colibri ("hummingbird" in Spanish), located in the South Valley outside Albuquerque NM. We hope you enjoy reading these happenings. We'd like to hear your comments. Thanks.

I have to admit that I am no ornthologist (I can't even spell it), but I enjoyed reading about which birds you are able to spot from your window-seat. Hopefully the upcoming winter will provide you with ample bird-watching opportunities out there.
