Happy October! We are now fully into Autumn, and seeing the changes it brings. Are you still getting Hummingbirds to your feeders? How about the other birds migrating? Don't forget to turn out the lights to help save the songbirds! 

The hummingbirds have been sparse the past few days. In fact, today, there were absolutely none. While it is sad in a way, to have them leave for the Winter, it is also a natural part of the season changing. While Hummingbirds may leave, we can still watch other birds migrating and beginning to settle into their winter home and ready themselves for their winter preparation. Fall foliage displays its own brilliant colors.

Here are a few snapshots of our last Hummingbird!

I have truly enjoyed watching our Hummingbirds this year. Previously, I always thought they had to be in almost constant motion. It turns out, Hummingbirds do rest, stopping their wings and enjoying their moments, whether it be eating or sitting on a perch. One of the great things about enjoying our Backyard Birds is the learning opportunities we can experience firsthand. Until next year, Hummingbirds!
