Did you know that summer doesn't last forever?



Today I saw a Western Tanager flying through Biola's campus. Western Tanagers are never resident in Southern California. They merely swing through on their way North or South. Last time I saw one at Biola was in May.

Yesterday Libby and I were at Bolsa Chica, but all the birds there are still summer birds. There are still wheeling flocks of terns around Tern Island. The only ducks are mallards. So, it's still summer, but now I know it won't last forever. The tanagers are headed home.
