Bird Migration

With the changing of the seasons also comes the migration of the birds. The kids love to hear the geese honking over head and flying south. Did you know that Texas is one of the only places in the world where you can see so many birds during seasonal temperature changes and we are home to the Texas World Birding Center? Texas is located in both the Central and Mississippi migratory routes for North American birds.

We have noticed a few new birds coming to our feeder in the recent weeks. Gone are the hummingbirds.... we do miss them! However, we have a cute little variety called a Tufted Titmouse, a shy Cedar Waxwing and Yellow Rumped Warbler. At least we think we've identified him as a Yellow Rumped Warbler, although he hasn't developed his yellow rump! We also think we have a Yellow Warbler although we are not experts at bird identification yet. Please let us know if we have misidentified any of these new birds. Have you spotted any new birds in your backyard?
