Check out these things happening this month!

 September is moving along with a lot of changes. Here is what to look for! - Happy Birdwatching!

• Hummingbird numbers peak around Labor Day, then start to dwindle; huge numbers along Texas coast.

• Blackbird (grackles, cowbirds and redwings) flocks can number in the thousands. Feeding Safflower is a great way to help deter them in this time. Another great way is to use a cage feeder to help the other little birds still come to your feeders!

• Broadwings and other hawks pass through.

• Peak of Blue-winged Teal migration.

• First flickers and kinglets can appear by the end of this month - they love suet!!

• Migration month! More birds are in the area now than any other month.

• American Goldfinch juveniles can be seen and heard harassing adults for food at feeders. Dads bring the fledglings to the feeders, its an amazing thing to witness!

• Ruby-crowned Kinglets appear. Look out for that gorgeous red dot on their head!

• First juncos and White-throated Sparrows can appear by the end of this month. These winter birds love millet, try using our No-Mess, No Waste Low Millet seed! 

• Robins are in large flocks, feeding on crab apples.

• Peak migration for Bald Eagle and other raptors.

• House Wrens begin arriving in the southeast in late-September.
