The autumnal equinox has just passed and the days are getting shorter.
Flocks of summer birds are moving south now with their young ones. Skye Posey saw merlins near the Lutak tank farm. These small falcons prey on migrating songbirds. Most of the rufous hummingbirds left a month ago, but there are some stragglers, and occasionally an Anna’s hummingbird passes by on its way south from summering farther north. Rick Burroughs saw a horned lark.
