I was able to get a few nice photographs of a Ruby Crowned Kinglet a couple of days ago at Palo Duro Canyon.
There was a Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle) there, as well
And an Orange-crowned Warbler
and a White-crowned Sparrow (actually several, but I only took one photo)
There was a few White-throated Sparrows as well, including this juvenile
I love birds! I am so sad that most of them have flown south for the winter

Ah, but now all the birds that have been even further north are migrating here for the winter or at least moving through headed further south.

This was my first year birding and I have to admit that I came to it a little late in the season here in Canada. We have had our first snowfall. There are some ducks and geese still lingering. I am all ready looking forward to spring.

I would imagine that you wouldn’t have very many birds overwinter that far north. That’s too bad. Your summer birds are my winter birds here in the Texas panhandle, or at least they pass through during migration. That would be tough. Birds are one of the things that get me through the winter. No birds, short days, lots of snow and cold for a long time. You Canadians must be tough 🙂

There are always house sparrows and chickadees to listen to. Winter is beautiful, when it first comes. By February, I go crazy 😊
