Happy first day of October. While there isn’t as much going on with birds in our yards now compared to the spring and summer months there is a massive movement of birds occurring known as migration. It is a fascinating subject that we allude to often; however, it is so complex that we just scratch the surface in blogs. For those of you that want to know more here is a link to a great article from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology that explains so much in layman’s terms. It is definitely worth reading if you ever wondered why birds migrate or how birds as small as Ruby-throated hummingbirds can travel as much as 1300 miles twice a year.
