Ready for winter? Migrating birds are heading south for the winter now. An estimated 104,000 birds passed through the county last night!

It's hard to believe, but fall Migration is already in full swing! Check out birdcast.org for live maps, migration alerts, and forecasts, and sign up for Email Migration Alerts - https://birdcast.org/migration-tools/local-migration-alerts/. Dim lights at night, Treat your window by day to help migrating birds avoid glass collisions, and make it to their destination safely.
