Comments: Many juvenile birds are on the wing, sometimes seen in groups with parents with lots of vocalizing to cue birders.  We saw young yellow warblers, crows, swallows, and waxwings.  Behaviors are very entertaining at this time of year with the juveniles are gaining skills and many birds are feeding heavily in preparation for migration.  It’s a great time to spot different migratory species coming through from the north, so join us in the next several weeks as the excitement ramps up!
