Rose-Breasted Grosbeak Spring Migration

This is a short video that highlights the Rose-breasted Grosbeaks that migrate northward through Alabama in the Spring. We are fortunate that they like to come and stay for a couple of weeks, refueling for the remaining of their trip, with hopefully a few more fueling stops on the way.
Feeders serve an important role in helping these magnificent birds and other migrating birds make the trip. Most birds migrate in the evening hours over night, which is just amazing considering that they are navigating without daylight to highlight landmarks.
Around 60.6 million birds migrated northward over Shelby County Alabama over a 3-month period (March, April and May). Also consider that Springtime is a time where there are storms and tornadoes. These birds navigate around storms. They drop down into the trees searching for food and water and if they find a good spot, they may stay a few days or longer. If you provide a good setup, they may decide to stay a little longer. We are lucky to have them stick around for about two weeks.
Please consider hosting your own feeder. There are plenty of videos on how to host birds on kenlittleblog.com as well as links to two live streams and a blog section to learn more.

@@KenLittle Up reading in the Bible about what's going on in the world today. Hear about the fires up north? "But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doing, saith the Lord: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it." Jeremiah 21:14 I wonder what they did wrong? Truckers?

@@richardbeee - I keep hearing instances of persecution of those of the Christian faith, kinda' like is being done here by the current admin.. There have been earthquakes of late.

@@KenLittle The cool thing is that we can see God really fighting for us. A lot of people don't know that last year alone wildfires emitted 1.3 gigatonnes of CO2. More than all the countries combined.

Saw an American Robin in the bottom feeder tray, is it a local or migrating through?

[@KenLittle]

There are a couple of American Robins who are at the feeders regularly.
