Bird Walk: Fall Migration
The calendar may say September, but for wild birds, it’s go time. With winter just weeks away, birds are gearing up to start the great fall migration. Between September and November, a staggering 70 percent of all bird species in North America migrate south for winter. In Northern California, that translates to some 200 species that take part in this massive winged journey to warmer climes.
Join us as we keep our binos focused on winter migrants passing through China Camp, as well as spring and summer residents taking wing and heading south. We’ll be on the lookout for various species of swallows, orange-crowned warblers, ruby-crowned kinglets, ash-throated flycatchers, Western bluebirds, spotted towhees, and maybe even a golden eagle!
