The migration of Blackpoll Warblers is incredible, beyond anything you'd expect of a bird weighing only about twelve grams. Find out just how incredible they are in our newest video, linked below! youtu.be/kJkFx5KBNaw

Well, it was nice while it lasted. This American Tree Sparrow, the first one banded this year, signals the beginning of the end of fall migration. These arctic birds are the last species to pass through. #birds #migration #biology

Last night we caught two Long-eared Owls at once! On the left is a hatch year male and on the right is a very feisty hatch year female. #BeaverhillBirds #BirdBanding #LEOW #Owls

Have you ever wondered how many nuts a nuthatch could hatch? Wonder no further, because the answers are in this week's video. youtu.be/9oWb5xROtbM #birds #birdbanding #biology

There it is. We never thought we'd get there, but with the capture of this Brown Creeper our fall migration species count has reached 70! That's a huge amount of diversity and a milestone we never expected to reach. What a season! #birds #birdbanding #biology #nature #wildlife

And that's a wrap! Songbird migration monitoring officially ended today, with our last capture of the year being this gorgeous Evening Grosbeak - a new species for the season and only the 4th one caught in BBO's history!

With the conclusion of fall migration also comes the conclusion of season 2 of BirdBytes, featuring the last songbird to reliably appear in fall. youtu.be/5wR6MPYljMI

It seems the peak in owl migration is upon us with 21 owl captures last night - 18 Northern Saw-whet Owls and 3 Long-eared Owls! #BeaverhillBirds #BirdBanding #MigrationMonitoring #OwlsOfAlberta #OwlsAreCute
