October is a prime birdwatching month. Millions of birds are migrating through our state now, headed for their wintering grounds as far away as Mexico, the Bahamas, and Central and South America. Many will stay the winter; others will drop by for a few hours or days to rest and replenish, then keep going. And, with some, we are just lucky to catch a glimpse as they pass overhead, not landing for days or more. It's pretty amazing stuff! Visit ebird.org and explore what birders are seeing anywhere in the world, or share your own reports. This Wood Thrush (photo below) has been fattening up on red grapes and mealworms, and enjoying the birdbath in Lawrenceville all week. Ruby-crowned and Golden-crowned Kinglets, Yellow-rumped Warblers, Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, White-throated Sparrows, Juncos and many more are arriving for the winter. Red-breasted Nuthatches and Pine Siskins, two irruptive species, are also expected in good numbers this year...and Siskins will eat tons of Sunflower and Niger Seed!

Most of our Ruby-throats have moved on, but leave a feeder out for at least the next few weeks for late stragglers. We also recommend running at least one or two hummingbird feeders throughout the year. Rufous Hummingbirds are the most common to winter here, but you may also host a Calliope, Allen's, Black-chinned or others. Thirteen species have been documented. Please let us know if you see ANY hummingbird between November 1st and March 1st.

Pictured above is an Allen's Hummingbird that spent last February at the home of BWSC co-owner Karen Theodorou. She's also hosted several wintering Rufous Hummingbirds, one female returning 4 years in a row!
