As the weather gets colder and the days get shorter we start to see less of our furry friends out and about. The one upside of the changing of the seasons is the influx of migratory birds from up north. Flocks of blue heron, geese, and ducks stop at Kansas lakes, ponds , and rivers on there way south for the winter. They'll stay for awhile to rest and enjoy the plentiful food supply that these waterways have to offer. Other species, such as the American Bald Eagle, will call these same locations home for the season and build their nests. In the spring they will head back north, hopefully with a few young ones in tow. It's a special time of year for us as we enjoy admiring the wide variety of avian visitors and the beautiful midwest sunset at the Milford Lake Gathering Pond.
Check out our collaboration video series: Wildlife Wednesday Collaboration - Wildlife in our Area! We are just a group of folks who thought it would be fun to share wildlife in our area. We live all over, so check out the playlist to see all of the critters we can find! There are a mix of outdoors, bushcrafter, camper, and family channels collaborating, so have fun with this playlist:
