Signs of Fall

Each April we see our first Broad tail Hummingbirds and it is my sign that winter is pretty much over.
BUT... by mid- August the hummingbirds start buzzing the feeder, and as much as I don't want to admit it, 
I know  ... Fall is just around the corner.
The little birds are wanting to get fattened up for their long migration to
Mexico and as far south at Argentina.
I make the "juice" a little thicker so it helps them get the weight on.
I love watching these amazing little birds.
As I was taking pictures of these little guys, I said to Kirk, "at least I haven't see a "flock" of geese yet..."
I barely got the sentence out of my mouth and...you guessed it.
a HUGE honking   "V" flying above the river.
I could not believe what was in the sky...
the geese are arriving.
Where did summer go???
