Birds of the week: September 19-24
We caught some fun birds this week, so we thought we'd share with some pictures! It was a pretty slow week, and we closed up early on Monday and Friday due to inclement weather. We're hoping for some cold fronts to push the migrants through next week! Keep your fingers crossed...
