Last week saw hundreds of Robins hanging around in some Live Oak trees. They were feasting on immature acorns. Around a puddle, they were misbehaving. One would go in for a quick wing splash, then after a couple seconds another one would come in and shoo it out. One after another. Looked like some sort of community shower.
The next day, the Robins were gone, and the Doves took their trees back again.
This year's migration of Monarch Butterflys is looking poor, at least so far. They pass through here twice a year, going to and from their Mexican hideout. For two or three weeks in October I can watch them flutter and glide to the South. Some stopping for refueling on little tiny weed flowers that are out in the grass this time of year. Usually, I will see maybe 10 per minute, if I look around in all directions. The first ones I saw were last week, have seen very few. If you're holding them up, send them on down
