v Fall/Winter Dark-eyed Junco (Have you ever listened to their Spring mating calls? So sweet!) Lesser/American Goldfinches (they often winter-over here) Mountain Chickadee (they sing the loveliest songs) Northern Flicker - "Red-Shafted" & "Gilded" Pine Siskin (Look close-often confused with female House Finch.) Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Boy, can he dish out a scolding to other birds!) White-breasted Nuthatch (They carry on with a "laughing" chatter.) Yellow-rumped Warbler v Fly-Overs Being only a half-mile from the river, we see and hear many migrating birds. Some will spend the winter along the river (bosque) and in the wildlife refuges around the area. In the fall and spring small flocks of local Canada geese, Mallard ducks, and Sandhill Cranes fly over our place most mornings and evenings, going from the river out to the farmers' fields to feed and back. One morning we even found a pair of Mallard ducks sitting in our cottonwood tree! We would love to have any of these birds land in our field some day! Bald Eagle Canada Goose Snow Goose (Often seen flying overhead at night!) Mallard & other Ducks Sandhill (& sometimes Whooping) Cranes (huge, noisy migrating flocks) |
