A series of cold fronts have really started the migration engine. Today the Black Swamp Bird Observatory's Navarre Banding Station had 17 warbler species, a major increase in Gray-cheeked Thrush, and it's first Golden-crowned Kinglet for the fall. A major movement of Red-breasted Nuthatch has been ongoing all week. Blackpoll Warbler has become the dominant warbler with a slight increase in Yellow-rumps. Early species are still possible this weekend with an expected increase in "October" birds. Weather looks favorable fr a continued influx. It is time for the first Juncos! BSBO will conduct its first fall banding demonstration on Saturday from 10 - 11:30 AM. Come out and join us to learn about migration and see what species joins us. The water feature at the Window on Wildlife is getting a wide variety of warblers and the Selasphorus hummingbird is still a regular.
