Songbirds are on their way south for the winter, and September is a wonderful time to see the most colorful warblers as they pass through New Jersey. American Redstarts, Black-throated Green Warblers, and Magnolia Warblers are just a few of the species we might encounter!

Naturalist Bill Lynch will lead a search for fall migrants. October offers an incredible diversity of migrating birds including warblers, sparrows, and birds of prey.

While most of the colorful warblers have headed south for the winter, new species of sparrows are just arriving. We will walk through meadows and forest edges, learning to distinguish similar species.
