As summer winds to a close, bird migration season begins! Birds will make the long journey from Ontario to their overwintering habitats. Many hawks, hummingbirds, waterfowl and warblers are already on the move. The coming months will showcase scores more. During a leisurely evening stroll you may spot swallows, swifts or nighthawks as they swoop and dart after the insects they eat. If you head to Lake Ontario or Lake Erie, you may see a turkey vulture or even a golden eagle.
