Reading the extended weather forecast, the high temperatures will be subsiding to more moderate ones. Signs that Autumn is really setting in, slowly but surely. I’ve noticed that my lawn’s Bermuda grass isn’t growing as fast as last week. That’s another sign. It has been raining almost every day for short periods but frequent.

When it comes to birds, they are still around every morning and the rest of the day. Even the Hummingbirds are still feeding themselves with the nectar at higher rate of consumption.

The House Finch families are present daily and as is their habit, they fly in all together and leave all together. They are very family oriented birds.

Here are pictures of some of them. Enjoy!

Golden Touch

My bird visitors are still coming in flocks for a quick stop eat and go every day. Mostly blackbirds which I seriously think are moving south for their annual migration. The rest of my visitors are local birds, from my area, among them are the American Goldfinch. I’m fond of them mainly because I still remember “Midas” the midget Goldfinch that stayed with us for a week and later left to meet the world. Do you remember?

This week I’ve seen some Goldfinches coming to the feeders mostly in the morning. It’s always very pleasant to see these birds adorning my backyard with their golden touch.

Here are some photos of them, enjoy!
