Knowing where to go birding, how to dress appropriately and how frequently to visit the same areas can help you maximize the opportunities fall birding offers.If heading into the field doesn’t fit your schedule, it is also possible to attract backyard birds during migration. Many species, particularly songbirds, will be grateful for a bird-friendly rest stop along their routes, bringing new birds right to your door.
