Mid-August-Early September Birding Calendar

* Watch for migrating sandpipers and Common Nighthawks.

*Look for casual migrants, which wander after nesting, or accidentals blown in by a coastal storm.

*American Goldfinches are amongst the latest nesting birds in our area. Young birds are just leaving the nest so listen and watch for their begging.

*Species on the move late August-Early September include Magnolia Warbler, Bay-breasted Warbler, Black-throated Green Warbler, Northern Parula, Nashville Warbler, Tennessee Warbler, Sharp-shinned Hawk, Black-throated Blue Warbler, American Redstart, Cape May Warbler, and Philadelphia Vireo.
