June 27, 2015 Saturday Bird Walk
Sunny and warm. 70°F. 2-5 mph. 17 participants.

We moved one canyon to the south from Skunk Canyon for this Saturday's walk. The birds and habitat are similar in both canyons, but we did see some different things this week. One notable difference is Bear Canyon had quite a bit of water in it, whereas Skunk Canyon was bone dry. In nature, you can always see the signs of the coming season in the present one. Today, I will officially proclaim the end of spring migration, because next week will be the beginning of 'fall' migration. For me, the kickoff to 'fall' migration is the fiery male rufous hummingbirds entering Colorado on the Fourth of July. As we say at the Wild Bird Company, 'the fireworks begin on the fourth of July', owing to the rufous hummingbird's aggressive nature. Note: Next week the Fourth of July is on a Saturday and we are closed so we will not have our regular walk. See you on the 11th!
