FYI. Central Wisconsin, Merrill Wisconsin rural area, the last of brother's hummingbirds left a few days ago. He is very rural with no other feeders around him. I witnessed just how many hummingbirds he is able to attract and it is above 50. He has multiple feeders that keep him busy. This is no accident as he has been feeding them for years.

Planting for the birds is a great idea. There was a small ornamental tree outside my window which had berries the birds liked. The cedar waxwings would stop by in fall and spring. The robins would eat the berries when a spring snow covered the ground. House finches also came by and picked at the berries leaving behind a hollowed out skin. I felt fortunate that someone had planted that tree many years ago.

My health issues keep me from enjoying sitting outside for very long, and my window is hard to get to and to look out to the feeder. My many Northern Cardinals are my favorites. I too love the blue jays...always have been in love with them! As a kid I got my share of pecks on my head sneaking a glance high in the blue jay nests!

Here in SE Pennsylvania, the Grackles and Cowbirds take over from April to July. They decimate the feeders and the Cowbirds lay their eggs in the Robin's nests. I really don't care for them because they bully the other birds. The robins and blue jays left in July, but the blue jays just returned. Soon the Chickadees and Titmouses and Juncos will be back by October. Once that occurs, cold weather is just around the corner! Thanks for sharing your video!

In Austin, TX grackles are a year-round nuisance. You can't even sit at an outdoor eatery table without them trying to steal food from your plate. They fill power lines in great flocks, make a great deal of noise, and poop on cars, which you have to wipe off immediately so it doesn't leave permanent stains. Such opportunists! Sadly their numbers aren't in decline as are those of more desirable species.

In my environment (my home), Cooper's hawks will perch on my neighbor's huge maple tree, and there will be no more birds at all, except for very nervous and hiding house sparrows, a couple very nervous downys, and some years a very nervous red bellied woodpecker. This spring, I noticed my warm climate visitors come in all at once, and our relationship picked up exactly where we left off. So nice to see them after missing them for four months. Especially thinking of mourning doves, blue Jays, and house finches. I often wish I lived out in the woods.

Today, I saw Tennessee, Bay-breasted, Black and White, Black-throated Green, Chestnut-sided, Kentucky, and American Redstart warblers, all at my backyard bird pond. I’ve found that providing a water feature with moving water is a great way to attract the warblers as well as other birds. Had my first Swainson Thrush arrive this week and I’m waiting on the Rose-breasted Grosbeaks to arrive soon. Winter residents for me here include song sparrows, juncos, hermit thrushes, and, when I’m lucky, some purple finches. It’s fascinating to think about how they all shift around over the months and the incredible journeys many of them make.

Great video! I'm looking forward to the dark eye juncos. The first time I seen them was last winter, I started feeding the birds last spring and really started paying attention to them. I remember it had been a pretty bleak fall, once all the singing stopped and alot of my birds left, around mid Aug, it took alot of my joy with them. Then one morning in October I looked out the window (it was still kind of dark yet) and there were 6 birds hopping down the hill in my back yard heading over to the food. I thought what are those? How cute! So I guess you could say that their little hops, pulled me out of my bleakness. It was so adorable and the more I watched there more I fell in love with them. They sound like little jed i's with their call. It was so cute. I'm waiting for there return. I ended up with a pretty big flock, maybe 20 or more would come everyday 😊 another great video, as per usual. 😊 I had a brown thrasher stop by me on spring, and one stop by last week on his way south.

I saw many of the resident birds like Carolina Chickadees, Northern Cardinals and Tufted Titmouse. I did get some good pictures of Black and White Warblers, Northern Parula and Yellow Throated Warbler. I was so happy to see those guys. In that area I've also seen Painted Buntings and Prothonotary Warblers, but they've all pretty much left.

It's like what's coming to Netflix. But birds and real life.

Black-capped and Carolina look so similar. There is a Dogwood try right by my bedroom window and bird feeders below. Visitors to my tree include humming birds, black-capped chickadees, goldfinch, tufted titmouse, cardinals, downy woodpeckers, house finches, carolina wren, sparrows, blue jays, and more . You reminded me that I will see Juncos again in the fall/winter. So cute! 3 birds that I would love to see, but haven't here in my part of Massachusetts are Gray Jays, Steller's Jays, and Indigo Buntings. Great video!

Lesley, I'm really enjoying your great way of sharing your knowledge of birds. I don't ever want to go without it! I agree the Cardinal is a beautiful red bird. They are so perfect to see at Christmas time especially. To go with our red and green traditional colors. What a blessing we all have! Having the most beautiful Cardinal. Wishing you and yours Christmas Blessings. Thanks for putting together a great video along with your good footage birders have shared! Keep your trips to the woods to visit our feathered friends coming! They are great! Thanks!

I've noticed that we have had a huge decline in finches come to our feeder...I would love so much to have many feeders. I'd love to have one high up in front of my second story window...and fix the window so that I could put the seeds out for them and they could come visit me. My dear Sam and his mate Mary often wake me up in the morning, and will call to me if a stray cat or if there's a hawk circling. Oh I love our chickadees and they are sooo smart! Our little watch dogs! So sweet too. We have had so many babies this summer, and the juveniles are getting so big that it can be hard now for me to tell my named birds from their offspring. But I can always count on Sam to come see mama when I call him. He also will get on the branch that is on level with my window to tell me goodnight in the evening also. I talk too much, but you bring out so many interests to me. Sorry Leslie. xo

Kansas City Missouri here. I still have 2 female Ruby Throats. I just refilled their feeders, I’ll be surprised if they’re around long enough to finish them. Robins used to leave our area in the winter and return in the spring but then they started showing up in February and now they stick around all winter long.

From Eastern Ontario Canada. Just wanted to say thanks for the video. It was very informative. We are novice birders. Those poor rock pigeons, they never get any glamour when it come to bird watching lol, but at our feeder we call them the girls. The other birds we have seen are the red wing black bird, nashville warbler, mourning dove, hairy woodpecker, black cap chicadee, northern cardinal, rock pigeon, european starling, red breasted grosbeak, common grackle, and dark eyed junco. Thanks again .God Bless

Leslie, Thanks for this wonderful video and reminder of migrating birds to watch for. As usual, your content has the perfect balance of education and entertainment. What is not said often enough is how accomplished you are as a photographer, videographer, and editor. As a bird-loving photo enthusiast, I really appreciate the skill you bring to your videos, always in a way that richly supports the story you are trying to tell. I look forward to each new release! Take care and enjoy the beautiful fall weather!

Looking forward to seeing my favorite bird, the Dark Eyed Junco! Here in the Mid Atlantic, they arrive in late November, early December. I can always tell when the snow is around the corner because of their arrival

I really enjoyed this one and like how you listed the birds based on the month. Here in my area of Ottawa, I'm seeing the Yellow-rumped Warblers and some Tennessee Warblers still hanging around. Sadly, my favourite, the Yellow Warblers have all moved on southwards. It's nice to see the Black-capped Chickadees again as they're much more active on the trails. Also, looking forward to seeing our regular 3-4 Snowy Owls that will arrive later in the Southwest Ottawa/Kanata area in November and December. Thanks for sharing and happy birding!

I'm so happy that you enjoyed this one. Thank you for watching. I've been seeing some yellow rumped warblers as well. Like you I haven't see yellow warblers for some time now. Still seeing Black and White warblers and redstarts too. I think it is so cool that you get snow owls visiting close by. I would love to see one of them. Have a great night 🐦🙂

Haha!! I watch her videos everyday before bed. It's my favorite way to unwind from the hustle and bustle of the day. It clears my mind of all the nonsense that's going on in this world. I don't even watch regular TV anymore . I can't express how these videos calm my mind. I love them. Plus why not step out of our busy lives and learn about these beautiful creature. I think I've watched all her videos 10 times or more. I even enjoy watching her other channel as well. Thank you Lesley the Bird Nerd. 😊

I love turkeys. So sweet and beautiful. I’m seeing a turn in the people who are in the garden: phoebe is back, so are purple finch, grackles come thru all picking at the yard’s bug goodies. The goldfinch are turning colors and eating the echinacea seeds. The female ruby throat is still here. I’ll be bummed when she goes. Thanks for this video! Also I saw a warbler but not sure which.
