Fall is a great time for many things natural. There's a chill in the air and chinks in summer's greenery are beginning to rust. Summer visitors like Hummingbirds have left and Catbirds are filling up before their departure. Raptors like Hawks and Eagles are migrating overhead and Warblers are flitting through on their way south. By keeping your feeders filled you may see wanderers like Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and Towhees at your feeders. Early morning and just at dark are the best times to look for songbirds and warblers. Keep your binoculars, field guides and cameras at the ready.

There are two Hawk Watches happening in Delaware that occur during the fall months. One is at the Delaware Nature Society's headquarters at the Ashland Nature Center. The other is in southern Delaware at Cape Henlopen. Another Hawk Watch takes place at Bucktoe Creek Preserve in Pennsylvania. Everyone is welcome to attend but you must follow Covid-19 safety guidelines.
