Subject: [NHBirds] Joy of Birding: Migration Is in the Air!
Migration Is in the Air

One of my favorite birding spectacles is underway: shorebird migration. I love watching sandpipers dance along the coastline. Fall is one of the most exciting seasons for birders. Shorebirds are already on the move and warbler migration is beginning. Enjoy the beauty of this season of change.

This month's articles capture the magic of fall birding. Relive the highlights of last autumn in the Fall 2025: Season Summary<https://joyofbirding.nhaudubon.org/season-summary-fall-2025/> by Ben Griffith, featuring a remarkable Common Cuckoo, only the state's second Trumpeter Swan, the fourth Bell's Vireo, and many other memorable sightings. Then get ready to see what surprises this fall migration has in store.

Common Nighthawk migration is also upon us. Read Rob Woodward's account of an unexpected migration event last year<https://joyofbirding.nhaudubon.org/2025-nighthawk-migration-at-franklin-falls/> and keep an eye on the NHBirds Google Group for information about Common Nighthawk watches this year.

We've also gathered a fun collection of field notes, from nesting stories to identification puzzles. See these on our "From the Field<https://joyofbirding.nhaudubon.org/from-the-field/>" section.

Finally, head to the coast with Holly Bauer and sharpen your shorebird identification skills in her Seacoast Chapter Fall 2025 Shorebird Field Trip Report<https://joyofbirding.nhaudubon.org/puzzling-through-fall-shorebirds-a-seacoast-chapter-field-trip/>.
