We're All About Birds, for All Seasons

September

Warblers are flitting through the Twin Cities on their way south for the winter.  Juvenile American Goldfinches are flocking to feeders in droves with their parents.  And their parents are already starting to molt, the females becoming more olive green in color as our summer gives way to fall.

Three cheers for oak trees as many backyard birders can enjoy a brief respite from their furry nemesis as the squirrels abandon feeders in favor of tasty acorns.  If you have a lot of oaks, gather the acorns in a plastic bag, seal it and store them in your freezer for a nice winter treat for your squirrels.
