Southward migration has started (sorry). Actually, I mark the beginning of southward migration at July 4th when the hummingbirds start coming through. Right now, some of the songbirds are on the move so we went to Boulder Creek along the CU Campus to meet up with them. But fear not, southward migration lasts until December. Thanks again to Bill Eeds for leading the walk. I'll be back doing the walk this Saturday.
