Looks like it is going to snow here in Colorado this weekend. It’s been a nice few days with highs in the 50’s. It makes me think of spring but we are still at least 5 months away from things starting to grow again.
We are planning a trip to Rincon soon which will be awes0me. We are looking forward to seeing the place after almost 9 months away! Not sure what to expect, but the gloomy weather here can drag on a person so it will be good to see some sunshine and green plants!
The geese are migrating this time of year and apparently found some food in our yard which was kind of interesting.
Not Chickens
We (Greeley) are on a flight path for migrations each year and we get thousands of these guys as visitors on their way from Canada. They stop at all the lakes in town and since our house is in between 2 ponds they occasionally stop by to say hi. They don’t usually come into the yards to eat though…lol.
We have the same Canadian geese on our golf course October to now. They make a lot of noise, especially in the morning and have an interesting pecking order and have nannies for the young birds. I think some are starting to leave for the North. Larry the golfer says they poop a lot but I haven’t noticed as I bicycle and haven’t noticed poop on the bike trails.
We have over 200 species of birds here, on the several preserves (Including Coal Oil Point, Sperling, Coronado Monarch Butterfly and soon, Ocean Meadows) of the university adjacent to our townhouse. It is a marine preserve too so we hear the seals barking on the buoys, and occasionally a coyote howling. Noticed a pile of feathers the other day so maybe a coyote got a gooselet,but more likely an owl.
So your birds are shorebirds too!
