Birds You Might See in August

Look for Northern Cardinals, Mourning Doves, Brown-headed Cowbirds, and House Finches taking advantage of abundant summer food.

How to Help Migrating Birds

• Keep feeders stocked – Migrants need extra fuel for their journeys.

• Leave native plants untouched – They provide natural food sources.

• Avoid trimming trees & shrubs – Safe resting spots are crucial for tired travelers.
