The sparrows are busy flitting around what's left of my garden. As the air gets brisker, we're bringing you two stories of hope from the summer, an in-depth guide to a tricky identification, and a return to an excellent Where to Bird feature.
Read about the extraordinary lengths biologists went to this summer to help a Peregrine Falcon chick<https://joyofbirding.nhaudubon.org/the-adventures-of-madi/> and two Osprey chicks<https://joyofbirding.nhaudubon.org/two-osprey-chicks-get-a-second-chance/>. In both cases, fans followed the chicks' journeys on livestreams, getting a glimpse into their lives as they grew. Nest cams offer a wonderful window into the lives of young raptors, but they also reveal the raw and often difficult journeys these birds face on their way to adulthood.
Ben Griffith takes us into the fascinating world of flycatchers with an in-depth guide to help us identify these birds. While most flycatchers have left New Hampshire by late fall, an occasional sighting can turn heads and raise questions. Learn what to look for and why a late-season flycatcher deserves a closer look.<https://joyofbirding.nhaudubon.org/empids-in-late-fall/>
An oldie but a goodie, we're bringing back a Where to Bird feature from Dublin, New Hampshire<https://joyofbirding.nhaudubon.org/dublin-birding/>. Looking for an excuse to get outside this fall? It's a great time to explore somewhere new, enjoy the changing season, and see what's moving through. Revisit this local favorite for inspiration for your next birding adventure
