Birds will come to bird feeders at all times of the year, but be prepared to see a slow-down in their food consumption over the next few weeks.

This is a challenging time of year for your birds.

Eight species of thrashers nest in the United States, but only one is found east of the Mississippi River.

Melissa and I love watching the Gray Catbirds that visit our yard every summer.

Across North and South America, no family of birds has more species than the 441 species of Tyrant Flycatchers.

My wife Melissa and I just celebrated our anniversary.  That reminded me of a trip we took to Wyoming years ago on our anniversary. 

You're probably seeing many young European Starlings in your yard this time of year.

This little fluffball is a juvenile Green Heron. It hatched from an egg only a few weeks ago, in a stick nest built on a tree branch overhanging a shallow wetland.

Fall migration is underway, and some of the earliest migrants are shorebirds like these Least Sandpipers I found last week. 

I've been enjoying seeing a fledgling Red-bellied Woodpecker visiting my feeders during the last two weeks.
