HUMMINGBIRDS: Well, we thought that maybe they had all left on Sunday, 9/25, but then we spotted one lone bird at the feeder on Monday. We saw the one all week long until Friday morning, 9/30. But since Saturday, 10/1, there has been no sign of any hummers. So, I was right about them leaving before October. We will leave a few feeders up for a couple more weeks in case some stragglers stop by. We really are missing them already.
OTHER BIRDS: The Ladder-backed Woodpecker has been quite active. We see him everyday pecking on the bean pods of the locust tree in the patio. We are waiting for the start of the Sandhill Crane migration. It usually happens once there are heavy snows in northern Colorado, which could happen this week. We have gotten some rain recently with a few snow flurries in the high mountains, so it looks promising.
Later . . . .
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.
