Seasons shifting

Saw a hummingbird today. They're still coming through, but I've only been seeing one at a time at the feeder, instead of swarms. No fights.

Last night I put the heater in the bird bath. This morning, a dusting of snow. Wednesday we are supposed to get whomped.

We were out running errands today and a roadrunner crossed the road in front of us. Not very fast; we had to swerve to avoid hitting him.

The coolest birds we've seen lately were a flock of about 8 wild turkeys on the road to our neighborhood, Saturday morning. First time we've seen them in the area!

Wolf photos

I posted some photos of the wolves at Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary on my Facebook page. We went to their annual Howloween celebration Saturday. Took pictures of the wolves devouring their treats of pumpkins stuffed with goodies.

This is my favorite pic: Storm, the wolf I sponsor, with a pumpkin on the move.

Part of the annual event is a fire circle with a campfire story and a special farewell to the wolves and other friends of the sanctuary who have passed on in the last year. This year the amazing ambassador wolf Raven passed, and I was glad to be there to say farewell and to hear the wonderful stories people told about Raven. Leyton, the sanctuary's director and Raven's chosen human, had the best stories, of course.
