I am also now in school full time so much of my days during the week are taken up by that and getting the kids to do their homework. There hasn't been much in the yard this month. I might also note that we have had ZERO rainfall for the entire month. Ugh. At least the temperatures have moderated and it finally feels like Fall here.
So! If you would like to check out what has been going on with the birds at that site for the month either click the link above to go through all of the month's entries in a long list (except for yesterday's which will go up in a couple of days) or select a certain week's post by clicking on any links below.
This past weekend I actually got to bird during a camping trip and will have some other things posted soon once I process the photos. Enjoy!

Buntings are Back!
We began seeing and catching Painted Buntings again. I think they enjoy the new grasses we let grow.

I'd Say Migration is On!
