Now we can follow birds as they migrate



Last week I told you that the hummingbirds had left our garden. This week, wondering where they went, I found this new website just posted by Audubon. 

Smiles. I can now confirm that today the Ruby Throated Hummingbird (the only hummingbird species found east of the plains) has largely left the northeast. Today, on their way to southern Mexico and Costa Rica, they are congregating around the Gulf of Mexico and central Mexico. The green represents their summer range, and the blue their winter.

Have fun. The site tracks over 450 bird species.
