Insects are an important part of hummingbird diet, but as cold temps move in, and they prepare to migrate, they increasingly rely on our feeders so its important to have those available fir them.

Had a baby kestrel hanging on my fence in Northern Kentucky today! I have been seeing mom and dad a lot, but this was the only baby.
When we work together, we have the power to create positive change in our communities across New Mexico. That’s the philosophy behind our Community Rewards® program!
Hawks Aloft, Inc. works to preserve New Mexico’s wildlife and unique landscapes for many generations to come. With their Living with the Landscape program, funded by Nusenda's Community Rewards, fifth grade students at Lew Wallace and Kit Carson elementary schools, worked in teams to build bird houses that were installed on their school grounds. Students also undertook school beautification projects, planting perennials, herbs and flowering bulbs, creating pollinator gardens. As the finale, PNM Line Crews came out to these two schools and hung American Kestrel or Western Screech-Owl nest boxes on utility poles at the school.
"Thank you for funding this incredible program. We couldn't do it without your help." - Gail Garber, Executive Director at
Hawks Aloft, Inc.
