Teen Birders: Farm and Garden Hidden Gems

Description

When fall migration peaks, community gardens and small farms become secret hotspots for warblers, sparrows, and more. On this teen birding outing, you'll visit several sites across Middlesex County where migrating songbirds concentrate as they fuel up for their journey south.

Look for a variety of warblers and sparrows, getting practice identifying them in their fall plumage, and scan overhead for migrating hawks. Rarities show up at these spots regularly in fall, so come ready for anything. Camera-friendly landscapes and gorgeous views make this a great outing for birding and photography alike.
