Do you get any migrating or nomadic birds during the spring/summer?

We get quite a few migrating birds my favorite is the (Amita?) humming bird its here from the middle of March to the middle of June then they head up to the Alpine Mountain for 2-4 weeks then they head to South America.
We also get a couple types of Woodpeckers and Owls. We also get Staler jays and I have a love hate relationship with them – they are an impressive looking bird but sometimes they will gather up all the bird feed in the area and bury it - there not saving it for later - they do this so that the other birds in the area will leave or die ( and if I know my Stellar jays they would prefer the later).
Late spring the Quail will show up in my area for about a month - they are monads they travel up and down the Island during spring and winter I like watching quail there like little road runners. Cheers and happy weekend!
What's pushing us apart isn't loneliness what's holding us together isn't love. Listen to the man who's been touched all his life yes he's the one they call the fool. Where is that savoir of the sidewalk life and the road that takes us to the crusades? We still got along way to go yes we still got a along way to go.

Yes, the blue heads migrate up from Florida.

Those f'ing Canadian geese that don't know that they belong in Canada also return to poop all over my yard.

Their probably not Canadian geese – Canadian geese don’t migrate anymore. Their probably Brant geese they look like Canadian geese but their originally from Chekhovian. Actually as far as I know it’s just the Vancouver Island Canadian geese that stopped migrating about 15 years ago I always looked at it as another sign of global warming. Also the Brant geese aren’t Chekhovian. Cheers and happy week end!

Yeah, they park their ass in my state! The normal ones will travel like blue head humans in search of good weather. I'm thinking we get the retarded/short bus ones and they never leave!

In reference to global warming, is there any proof that our....meaning you and me enjoy a warmer winter? I'm not talking about the icebergs melting......talking about us and the animals in our areas enjoying a warmer winter?
