Fall bird migration 2026: Monarchs, hummingbirds, warblers and record raptor counts
Monarchs, ruby-throated hummingbirds and colorful wood warblers are moving through the region, while hawk-watch sites report impressive raptor numbers including 64 bald eagles in a single day.
We’re now at the end of the second week of September, and daily I’m seeing migrating monarch butterflies, which are usually moving west, along with ruby-throated hummingbirds.
