• Heard Coyotes at night
• Saw a large flock of Black Vultures
• Saw a Rufous Hummingbird at feeders
• Refreshed three hummingbird feeders

Caretakers note: It is very unusual to see Hummingbirds in the wintertime. On occasion, a lone Hummingbird will miss the migration with its fellow birds and is a late straggler. This is why we leave up a few feeders even in the winter when most Hummingbirds have migrated south for the winter.

• Saw thirty plus Wild Turkeys
