By late September, our summer birds have almost entirely left and our winter birds have begun to arrive: Fall migration is in progress.
This process has many aspects, many exciting new arrivals to welcome as the Earth makes its progress around the sun and daylight diminishes in the north, sweeping birds southward and westward to the tranquil coasts of California. What changes do we see in the autumn world of birds, and where do we see them?First, the departures. In backyards, orioles were the most striking of our summer birds, golden wonders that visited hummingbird feeders.
There are many more songbirds on the move as well. Less-common sparrows like white-throated, fox and Lincoln’s sparrows arrive in conjunction with the abundant crowned sparrows. Ruby-crowned kinglets will soon become inconspicuously ever-present, tiny and uncolorful birds that nonetheless move with a belligerent hyperactivity through the foliage of both neighborhood and woodland trees in search of tiny insect prey.
