Happy October! We are now fully into Autumn, and seeing the changes it brings. Are you still getting Hummingbirds to your feeders? How about the other birds migrating? Don't forget to turn out the lights to help save the songbirds! And another action that helps the birds? Drinking bird-friendly coffee!

As the leaves are falling this Autumn, let them lie where they fall! This is helpful to the owls, and many other types of wildlife. Speaking of Owls, the Nature Centered Podcast for October is out, and it is all about Owls! You can listen here: https://naturecentered.podbean.com/

With the changes of Autumn, we can expect to see the birds begin to transition towards winter mode. As the days get shorter and the temperatures colder, maybe you are also ready to start transitioning into Winter mode. It is a perfect time to cozy up with bird friendly coffee under a blanket and watch the birds coming to your feeders and the other wildlife. 

The hummingbirds have been sparse the past few days. In fact, today, there were absolutely none. While it is sad in a way, to have them leave for the Winter, it is also a natural part of the season changing. While Hummingbirds may leave, we can still watch other birds migrating and beginning to settle into their winter home and ready themselves for their winter preparation. Fall foliage displays its own brilliant colors. 

Here are a few snapshots of our last Hummingbird!
