Do you see birds migrate?

I live on the migratory flight path of thousands of Canadian Geese, the Snow Goose, Finches, Sparrows and many other birds. My chickadees that leave me all summer are now back and as long as my suet and seeds last they will be here all winter.


They're gone now, but I had great show of the rubybreasted humingbird. They loved my beebalm...bright red flowers.


The snow geese in my area should start migrating and that is a site to see as well.


Do you see? Appeciate? or even notice?

Do you see birds migrate?
It is my job to notice...literally, I am an ornithologist so I keep track of when certain species arrive, when they leave etc. I do Breeding bird surveys to determine which birds have territories in which locations, they get mapped and then are compared to maps from years past and numbers of species in year past to see population trends. The main species I study is actually still here..they should be leaving any day now for S. America. I am still checking on them daily to see to exactly when they take off.
Reply:I notice the geese migrating all the time. Others are not always in big numbers so I don't really notice. I have noticed the monarch butterfly migrating south though. I really appreciate nature and notice things most people don't. That is cool you appreciate and notice the birds and thier migration patterns around you.
