How do you celebrate fall?

Scrub and refill all your water sources? Put high-energy foods out for migratory birds? Sit outside with your binoculars and Merlin helping you ID what you’re hearing?

It’s all good!

Bring bold energy and striking patterns to your yard! Woodpeckers are easily recognized by their strong, chisel-like bills and unique vertical clinging posture on trees and suet cages. They love suet blocks, mealworms, and peanut-rich mixes. Hang a specialized tail-prop suet feeder to give them the ultimate dining comfort while they nest in dead trees or nest boxes!

Rain chains are functional and beautiful!

Want to turn your yard into a safe haven for migrating birds this season? Layered landscape with native trees and shrubs already provide natural shelter. Try adding a reliable source of fresh water, and upgrading to premium seed blends and fruit suet. A well-stocked yard means more beautiful backyard visitors to enjoy all season long!

Lots of not-so-scary decorations for Halloween.

Turn off outdoor lights TONIGHT to help migrating birds!

**Lights Out Alert Sunday & Monday Nights**

Heads up birders, I would not be surprised if the biggest bird migration night of the year happens over the next 2 nights. Birdcast is estimating 300-400 million birds will be in flight. That is a lot, but the pattern could not be better for migratory birds. A massive area of high pressure will turn the low level winds from the northeast to the southwest across most of the US. The last time we had anything similar to this in the fall was early October last year when a record 1.25 billion birds were in flight. I doubt we get to that level, but I suspect the number will top 500 million especially Monday night which looks to be the bigger of the two nights. You can help by turning off those outdoor lights on big migration nights, and the next 2 nights is about as big as it gets.

Need a fall flag?

We’ve got a few to choose from!

Fall migration is underway! As birds journey south, they need high-energy fuel to sustain them. Power up your backyard feeding stations by choosing energy-rich foods like sunflower chips, live or dried mealworms, protein and fruit-packed suet blocks. Help our feathered travelers thrive on their long journey!
