Finally! The southward migration of songbirds is becoming more intense.
The beauty of fall migration is that some migrants unexpectedly persist. Of course daytime temperatures in the low 70s, help.
The Oak Bluffs pumping station used to be a go-to site for finding migrating songbirds.
Migration will peak in these next couple of weeks, so this is a good time to be out and about looking for birds.
What a difference one week makes. Last week included 14 species, eight of which were migrating through rather than species that nest on the Island.
The 14 species of warblers seen this week shows that songbird migration has increased tremendously.
