Have you watched Mark's latest video?

More birds. Less fuss. A lot more wonder. Let’s talk birds. Hi, I’m Mark McKellar — a wildlife biologist with 40+ years of bird study experience (and countless hours just staring out the window). I’m here to help you bring more birds — and more simple wonder — right to your own backyard....

Fall can be one of the most exciting seasons to be a birder. Migration brings birds through areas where you may not see them during the rest of the year, while changing plumage and mixed-species activity can make every outing an identification adventure.

Grab your binoculars and pay attention to local parks, woodland edges, wetlands, and even your own backyard, you never know which fall migrant might appear next.

Berries can be a critical natural fuel source for birds during fall migration. As birds prepare for or continue long seasonal journeys, many species shift toward energy-rich fruits that provide carbohydrates and other nutrients. Native berry-producing plants can turn your backyard into a valuable natural feeding stop for migrating and resident birds alike.

Planting native shrubs and preserving natural food sources helps provide birds with the nutrition they need when migration demands are high.
