IIronically, as temperatures just start heating up in Minnesota some shorebirds begin preparing for their fall voyage. Sandpipers actually start their migration during the first week in July because of their lengthy trip to Argentina and Chile.
People should also start looking for hummingbirds to begin their migration to Mexico and Costa Rica, so now would be a good time to fill up their feeders. During mid-September,
Hawk Ridge in Duluth will be a busy place when raptors, such as hawks, eagles and owls, begin moving through on their way to their wintering sites. So fall is a fabulous time to bird watch because these and other species may be easier to spot.
