If you are feeding birds out of a feeder, make sure to clean it to help keep birds healthy.
Why do birds migrate in the Fall?
They migrate primarily to find food, especially when their aquatic habitats freeze over in colder months. Migrating is a great way to escape harsh weather and find more temperate climates where the waterways remain open and the days are longer.
I was out to Turnbull one lovely blue sky day in mid-October in hopes of seeing how the two Trumpeter Swan families were doing.
