Changes from September to October.

The Rufous Hummingbirds and Black-head Grosbeaks have left.

But the Golden-crowned Sparrows have returned!

I know it's hard to see the golden crown!

(Yes, I'm talking to  you Sandie!) 

The crown will get brighter and clearer as winter progresses.

Here's a side view.

It's nice to have them back.

Sunday's Hummers

Hummer action continues unabated.

The salvia La Trinidad is a favorite

A young male

It was chirring and puffing up - learning to be territorial.

Happy Sunday everyone!

September Trail Camera - The Back Yard

Not a lot of variety this month.

Lots of deer

Doe and fawns

Fawn

Nursing fawn and doe

Off to the far left - a buck!

And back yard bear activity... 

Small bear

Running small bear

Small bear

BIG Bear!

And BIG bear once again.

That's it for September.
