You may not notice it yet, but fall migration has already begun.

As the days slowly become shorter, many birds start preparing for their journey south. Some species are already on the move, while others are stopping at backyard feeders to refuel before continuing their travels.

You can help by:
Keeping feeders full
Providing fresh water
Cleaning feeders regularly

Your backyard can become an important rest stop during migration season.

Have you noticed any new birds visiting your feeders lately?

Some migrating hawks travel together in giant swirling groups called kettles.

Rather than constantly flapping their wings, they ride warm columns of rising air—called thermals—to soar thousands of feet into the sky before gliding south.

It's one of the most spectacular sights of fall migration!

Have you ever seen a kettle of hawks?

Hot days call for cool water!

Fresh water can be just as important as food during the late-summer heat.

Keep your bird bath clean, filled, and ready for visitors you might be surprised by who stops by for a drink or a splash!
