50 Birds You Need To Watch For This Fall

[@prbmax]

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.

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

I know it is so nice seeing wild birds eating from native trees. There are so many mountain ash trees here and the berries are phenomenal this year. The birds are going crazy after them. 🐦

I'll never forget hearing noise in my backyard after I moved into my home. So I went out to look and there was a large number of turkeys eating something planted back there. I was so excited. Now after all these yrs, it just normal. They obviously nest nearby. I just watch my Finches, Cards, Jay's and Sparrows busy at my feeders. They should be thrilled. I have plenty of clean feeders and birdbaths! I saw more hummingbirds to my delight this year, but I also planted deck plants in pots to attract them and 3 feeders for them as well! Love love love! 🥰 Thanks for sharing, Lesley!

[@soggyminnow8331]

One bird that I look forward to seeing in the fall are juncos. They show up in my area (southern Ontario) in late October, and will usually stay until April. I love to see them "double scratching" for seed in the snow that other birds have spilled from the feeders. They're such tough little characters!

[@kurtaaron9478]

Yeah! You mentioned Hawk watching! For the past few days I've been going to Miller State Park in Peterborough, NH. There's a Raptor Observatory there right on Pack Monadnock and it's a spectacular view. I've seen hundreds of broad-wings, red-tails and numerous falcons and accipeters in the past 3 days. It's been a splendid reprieve. They released a rehabilitated broad-wing, a red-tail and a merlin yesterday. It was beautiful and very emotional. Anyway, I absolutely love your videos Lesley. You inspire us all! Happy birding ❤🦅🐦🕊

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

Oh my gosh that sounds so wonderful, I can imagine how great it is to watch them all like that. And how awesome about witnessing the release of a few species! Woohoo! Wishing them great success out there. Beautiful! I totally get the emotional aspect of it, just reading your comment has me a little watery eyed I can bet that had I been there I'd be a big mushy baby, haha! Thank you for taking the time to watch my video I am so glad you enjoyed it. Take care and happy birding :)

[@lorenrobertson8039]

I have been watching for the return of my grosbeak couple to come see us for a few days. I named the male Henry and his wife Henrietta. He is so impressive! I did get to see Henry just once in the Spring migration north. I keep listening for his voice and look for him too when I can. 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! And a tail feather was an absolute treasure to find and collect. Thank you for taking time to teach us! I am going to watch this video more than once or twice.

[@paulf4802]

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!

[@mfcabrini]

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.

[@katydidwhat6120]

Here in the southern U.S. I see what I'm sure are pine warblers year round. I have seen a few curious warblers come to grab a peanut when they notice the cardinals, wrens, tufted titmice, and chickadees flocking to my back porch for seeds I put out.

[@nancyfahey7518]

[@s1nd3r3llee]

Hi 👋🏻 @LesleytheBirdNerd! SO EXCITED! This morning on NOV 2, I AGAIN heard My BIRD FRIEND, the White Throated Sparrow, with its unusual song, at my feeders out back!! YOU were the VERY ONE that taught me about these beautiful birds, that migrate through my Cary, North Carolina backyard each fall and spring! This makes my day to see and hear them AGAIN! Thank YOU 🙏🏻, Lesley!

[@WhistlesToAnimals]

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.

[@ladypalomino3151]

I love the black cap chickadee, they stay around the house all the time. And they are a curious, friendly bird.

[@chriscarlsen2100]

I've been wondering where they all went and then I happen to look out into the field behind my house and a bunch of them were having off the sunflowers that the blue jays must of planted. Sooo cute!!

[@KombuchaBuzzed]

I love seeing the wild suburban turkeys in my town. They cross the street in a line. 🦃🦃🦃 Just heard geese flying overhead.

[@mcthejeanjeanie]

We have had lots of visitors earlier this summer, largely due to storms forcing migrations to stall in the spring. On the west coast September is often the best time to see western tanagers, probably as they head on their way out. Great video as always!

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

How nice to get to see western tanagers. They are so beautiful. Thank you for the nice comment. Have a great night 🐦

[@philbertdez3863]

I spotted an American red Breasted Robin and a Blue Jay (my favorite bird thus far) poking around for food around a tree beside a parking lot today. It's pretty rare to see either due to the automobile noise and people shooing them away. It's always nice to see and hear our wee feathery friends in a sea of concrete and an angry car horns lol.

[@kdbchickadee]

Dark-eyed Junco show up October 15 (give or take a day) every year, NE Ohio. Faithful little birds. I'm not a fan of winter, but they sure make it tolerable. And hopefully a Fox Sparrow. They are always a treat.

Love this! The hawks coming through Michigan have been amazing, but nothing can top the pretty warblers for me. It’s right at peak timing for them here, and it’s been so much fun to frantically scour the local parks for them.

[@thebirdartistscottage]

The last of our migrants are passing over in the night here in Western Oregon-still a few Swainson’s Thrushes calling in the early morning when we get up to let the puppy out. I always feel sad to hear them go but the geese are starting to arrive and lots more ducks are showing up! And I heard a White-throated Sparrow yesterday. So grateful to be able to watch these natural rhythms unfold year after year.

[@elizabethanne8729]

In CT we are in the midst of the great swallow migration. They are all over the Connecticut River mouth and shoreline. I also love grackles. We have a river behind our house and one summer when the water was particularly low, a flock of grackles were out in the river bed crayfishing.

[@kathleen2291]

[@WarblerRidge]

Great video. Reminds me of why I love this time of year. I’m in Tennessee and I’m getting lots of warblers right now. 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.

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

How wonderful to have all those warblers visiting your yard. I'm still seeing some warblers but they will gone in a few weeks. Birds are pretty remarkable, love this time of year. Thank you for watching. Have a great night

[@gailnewcomb8256]

I saw a large group of robins in the yard the other day. It was a day after a hard rain and they were running around looking for worms and bugs I guess. I love robins, but usually see only one or two at a time. It was thrilling to see so many, and in my own yard! ❤

[@chriscarlsen2100]

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.

Hi Lesley. Thank you for the video. I am super SAD, I am finding dead warblers in the city streets and it is so heartbreaking. I have buried two of them already and it is devastating to me. Thank you for your work.

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

That is terrible, I am so sad to read that you had to witness this and I feel your pain. It is heartbreaking what these innocent little creatures go through. I wish there was something I could say. Thank you for being so kind as to bury them. Hugs

[@wildlifenatureconservation9379]

Another sad event. This morning I’ve heard mourning doves in the backyard making unusual an violent movements . I’ve looked outside the window and a black outdoor cat grabbed one of the mourning doves. It was two late for me to try to save it. This is another TABOO topic nobody dares to talk about. The problems feral & outdoor pets are causing to birds and wildlife in general. In my opinion cats are unnecessary luxury items that are only damaging nature. I hope you take some time to study this topic.

[@wildlifenatureconservation9379]

Just for the record. A person working for a wildlife organization told me that she had to pick up 11 warblers that collided with buildings here in NY city. Incredible how resilient these tiny birds are to still be around us. I am honestly starting to dislike big cities a lot now.

[@DerekLB]

I live in Columbia, South Carolina. I took a walk down my the Congaree River downtown. Columbia is a small city with lots of green area so we still get the little Warblers as they pass by and I've found that the river is a good place to find them. 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. The peak time for all the rare Warblers to pass through is the beginning of October and I can't wait for a chance to photograph them as I only started taking pictures back in May.

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

Aww that is so wonderful I'm glad you got some good pictures. It's very rewarding. I hope you get to see many more in October and capture some great pictures. :)

In NE Illinois recently I’ve seen a Great Blue Heron, an Egret, white breasted nuthatches (red ones left). In the Fall and Spring I get Sharp-Shinned and Red-Tailed Hawks, purple headed Grackles, & Cowbirds to name a few. I have year round Cardinals, Blue Jays and Sparrows that have a patch of gray on the top of their heads, am not sure if they’re a hybrid or just European sparrows. I saw a Red-Start once. I’d like to see any kind of warbler, they are rare here near the city. Indiana Dunes State Park actually tracks bird migrations with radar. Lights Out Chicago is a program to prevent window strikes with tall buildings during migrations.

I usually have a large gang of Goldfinches, but the Grackles are keeping them away. It’s actually been quiet with a few of the regulars.

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 🐦🙂

Looking forward to seeing the Cedar Waxwings. I would be so thrilled to see a Snowy owl some day.

Great Episode! I Am Way More Relaxed Now... Thanks Leslie, Peace

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

Well that is awesome 🙂 thank you for taking the time to watch. Have a wonderful 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.
