Saying Goodbye

Even though there is still a little summer left for us, birds are beginning their journey south.

I am on a birding list serve and folks on the list are sending in posts with long lists of shorebirds and warblers they are seeing passing through.  I watched as waves of Common Nighthawks flowed overhead starting their journey south.  It was quite a spectacle.

Migration has begun.  It is just part of an inevitable uncontrollable cycle.

I appreciate living in the north because the seasons are noticeable and the migration contributes to the change.

I take comfort it knowing it will all happen again.
