Hasta la vista, birdie: Fall migration bird show

Snow geese migrate through Vermont in large flocks every year.

The sound of squawks and flapping wings overhead tells us it's migration season! Where are all those warblers, geese and raptors going? And can they take us with them?

The Bird Diva, Bridget Butler, joins host Mikaela Lefrak for our annual fall bird show. Butler will talk through the types of birds you might see during the fall migration, and help callers identify birds they've spotted recently.

Some resources for novice birders: the Bird Diva's website, Brian Pfeiffer's blog, Vermont Birder Broker and the Merlin bird ID app.

Broadcast live at noon on Thursday, Oct. 6, 2022; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
