 Now this is more like it, plenty of birds today for everyone to enjoy.  Not that many Hummingbirds, as most have migrated farther south for the winter.  Even so, the few holdovers were entertaining.  Also, the juvenile male Ruby-throat is still around.  For some reason, the water feature was especially popular this day, with many of the birds taking long baths and splashing around.

 Activity continues to be slow at the sanctuary, with the regulars being the primary entertainment. In addition, the Yellow-rumped Warblers have returned in large numbers.  And, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird is still hanging around.
