Explore Minnesota Birding Update.  Happy birding!

September Nature Notes

The fall migration is underway. Many birds are heading south to warmer locations, and some are just arriving as they relocate from the north.

Various factors and cues spur migratory movement such as the amount of daylight, the angle of the sun, cooling temperatures and the availability of food.

Several warbler species, flycatchers and nighthawks are in the midst of their migration, and the majority of hummingbirds, orioles and martins have already departed. Raptors are also on the move. And an influx of red crossbills was noted as early as August.

One of the most popular viewing sites for raptors is Hawk Ridge in Duluth where birders can see vast numbers of sharp-shinned hawks, broad-winged hawks, bald eagles and other raptors from early September through mid-November. Peak migration at Hawk Ridge takes place from mid-September to late October. Check out The Birds of Hawk Ridge to see images of the many species that pass through most years. Another excellent site to view the hawk migration is Carpenter St. Croix Valley Nature Center in Hastings.

Birders will want to check out Explore Minnesota's 6 Hot Spots for Watching the Fall Migration to learn of other key locations for spectacular birding during the autumn season.

Did You Know?

Not all birds migrate during the day. In fact, most migrate at night. Such birds include warblers, sparrows and thrushes. One hazard they face is the abundance of well-lit buildings which can easily disorient these birds, often leading to collisions, injury and even death. Audubon Minnesota is promoting their Lights Out Program to help nighttime migrants avoid colliding with lit buildings. They encourage managers and owners of Twin Cities' buildings to turn off unnecessary lights between midnight and dawn from Aug. 15 and Oct. 31 during this prime migration period. Help spread the word about the Lights Out Program and the opportunity to save money while saving birds! Whenever possible, please congratulate the owners and managers of the buildings identified on the List of Participating Buildings.

Migratory birds need to consume additional calories this time of year to prepare for their long flights. Draw these birds into your yard and view them from the comfort of your home while helping them get the calories they need for their long journeys. Autumn Bird Feeding Tips from The Spruce provides information on how to attract and what to feed our migratory birds.

Elk Mating Season
Cow and calf groups are being approached by bulls for the start of the mating season. Elk calves are weaned though they nurse from time to time if mom allows. Young bulls have rubbed off their velvet and are polishing and the older bulls have begun to rub off velvet. Bulls are starting to bugle. The biggest bull elk in the area is currently with cows. Bears are visiting bear baits placed by hunters for the bear hunting season that began Sept. 6. Connors Lake Campground is closed for the season. Lake of the Pines Campground is open. The weather forecast for the weekend calls for Friday to be sunny with a high of 67 and low of 53, Saturday has a chance of showers with a high of 71 and low of 51, and Sunday, mostly sunny with a high of 75 and a low of 53 and finally Monday, will be mostly sunny with a high of 71 and low of 47.

Birding, Bird Watching / Wisconsin Statewide Birding Report

Wisconsin Statewide Birding Report

Ah, September, the month second only to May on most birders' calendars. Peak migration, birds coming, birds going. The month when every day lends promise of new birds, when every oriole you see may be the last, and you marvel at species you haven't seen since spring. This year's first week of September lived up to hype.
After common nighthawks staged what was perhaps their last good flight on September 3, northerly winds ushered in many migrants thereafter. Among them were the first flocks of northern Canada geese heading south in their classic "V" formations overhead. Birders reported some sandhill cranes taking advantage of the same winds to depart the state. Raptor migration is also underway. Early season flights are typically dominated by broad-winged and sharp-shinned hawks, American kestrels, bald eagles, ospreys, and a smattering of others.

On the ground, warbler watching was excellent at many locations statewide this week. Look for peak numbers and diversity in the week ahead. The same can be said for thrushes, especially Swainson's, our most common migrant. Oriole numbers have dropped, while hummingbird numbers are at or just past peak. Red-breasted nuthatches and purple finches are on the move, as are some pine siskins and red crossbills, especially across the north. Notable arrivals from the north include ruby-crowned kinglet, American pipit, Bonaparte's gulls and horned grebe. Also telling of the season are building numbers of palm warblers and sparrows, such as Lincoln's and white-throated. Shorebird migration is largely waning. Diversity remains good but numbers are down overall. Sanderlings, American golden-plovers, Baird's sandpiper, willets, short-billed dowitchers, and lesser yellowlegs were a few of the species found.

Rarities spotted this week include Nelson's sparrow, parasitic jaeger, and possible neotropic cormorant in Ozaukee County, red-necked phalarope in Dodge, possible red knot in Kenosha, and a yellow-crowned night-heron photographed in La Crosse. Help us track the migration and find out what others are seeing at www.ebird.org/wi. Good birding! - Ryan Brady, Bureau of Wildlife Management research scientist, Ashland



What palm warblers lack in color they make up for with personality. Look for this late-season warbler on the ground or in low shrubs as it persistently bobs its tail and gives chip notes while searching for insect prey.
