Migrating Birds

Female Cardinal

The Cardinal is not a bird that migrates from here.  They stay all winter.  There are are other birds which do migrate.  One of those is the Red-winged Blackbird.

Male Red-winged Blackbird

The Red-winged Blackbirds which spent the spring and summer here left long ago.  We have not had their sounds for probably a month.  Recently, we have been hearing their call again.  These are of those migrating south from further north.  They behave differently in that they sit mostly in the very tops of the trees.  This is because they are not mating here now.  They may be gone by the time you read this.

Female American Goldfinch

The American Goldfinch over winters here.  They change to much more muted tones in winter.  This one is feeding on the seeds from the Prairie Dock.  Later they will feed on the seeds from the Goldenrod.
