Here, in New Mexico, there are a lot of birds that fly south for the winter but some seem to wait to the very, very last minute. We have had freezing temperatures for a month now and the stragglers are still hanging around; waiting for a heat wave? The funny thing is, we have others that actually fly south to be here. I am no expert on migration but I thought the point was to get away from cold weather. I realize that our daytime temperatures are quite mild compared to other places but, at night, it freezes. I really don't get it but I love birds so I'm happy they are here.
