Fall Migration

An Exciting Time of Year

Some of your summer birds will soon to be leaving, and new birds are on their way back. Help them with their long journey by:
	Making sure to keep your bird baths and feeders clean.
	Keeping cats indoors because newly arriving birds are not familiar with your yard's hazards.
	Keeping binoculars near your window so you don't miss the action.
